100 Years of Printmaking in San Antonio: Kent Rush

This fourth of four exhibitions dedicated to significant San Antonio printmakers is organized in celebration of the 300th anniversary of the city’s founding. 

San Antonio artist and teacher Kent Rush has been making prints for nearly 50 years, and his contributions to the San Antonio art community make him the perfect subject for the McNay’s series of exhibitions representing a history of printmaking in our city. Included are a soundtrack of the blues music the artist listens to in his studio, and a video of Rush creating a collotype. One of his favorite media, collotype is a printmaking process in which a light-sensitive gel is exposed to light through a photographic negative.
