Morton Kaish: A Print Retrospective
November 8, 2021–February 5, 2022 Link

This retrospective presents an overview of Morton Kaish’s exploration and love of the print medium. Spanning over seven decades, the exhibition highlights his mastery of traditional and emerging techniques: starting with an early drawing Kaish created as a student at Syracuse University in 1945, through his experimental years in Italy, and culminating in the dramatic color and patterns of his current “Butterflies” series.
