Kathryn Smith represents the culmination of over a century of refinement of the technique first credited to the early Provincetown printers at the turn of the 20th century. Kathi Smith’s work has evolved over the past twenty-five years from the initial simplicity of her earliest prints to a far more intense form, then back briefly to a minimalist approach and most recently to a new complexity one does not usually associate with the white-line print. Kathi Smith has crossed the fine white line with her constant desire to push this print form in the 21st century. She has found a comfort level within the block that has produced remarkable results. Congratulations to the winning bidder!
