About the Artist
Carol Summers (American, 1925-2016) was born in 1925 in Kingston, NY and raised in Woodstock, NY. He received a BA from Bard College in 1951 under the GI Bill after serving in World War II. Summers taught at Hunter College, the Brooklyn Museum School, Pratt Graphics Center, and Columbia University. He often used his travel experiences to Europe, Asia, and across the United States as influence in his work. Summers is known for his large-scale prints and unique woodblock technique. Known as the “Carol Summers technique”, he placed the paper on top of the block then transferred the ink by applying ink with a brayer and feeling for the edge of the carved block. Summers frequently printed on both sides of the sheet and sprayed the paper with solvent to transform the inks into dyes, encouraging the pigment to bleed into the surface and create a watercolor appearance in the porous paper. This produces rich colors and soft, blurred edges. His work is known for its big, bold, beautiful forms and joyous colors. Summers’ work has been shown in two major retrospectives and is held in the collections of many distinguished institutions in the US and internationally.
“Landscapes are portraits of our mother earth, and sometimes, by extension, ourselves, focusing on some mood or aspect that echoes our human condition, and sometimes again, illuminates it.” —Carol Summers

Carol Summers
Carol Summers, one of America's foremost printmakers, was born in Kingston, New York, in 1925. After service in the Second World War in the Pacific, he attended Bard College, where he studied painting under Stefan Hirsch and printmaking with Louis Schanker. Soon after his graduation in 1951, Summers was awarded several prestigious fellowships, one from the Italian government to study in Italy in 1955, two from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation in 1955 and 1960, and another from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation in 1959. University posts and workshops took him all over the world, and his subject matter is mainly colorful, stylized landscapes of the places that were of special significance to him, such as in Italy, India and Nepal. In 1974, Summers was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Bard College. His work is in numerous prestigious museums internationally including the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Accademia Degli Intronati in Siena, Italy.
