Visions in Copper and Wood

Two Nudes, 1947, wood engraving, 30 x 22.5 cm., numbered 11/25

This summer the exhibit in the Fairchild Gallery featured Visions in Copper and Wood, a selection of works by Charles Quest (1904-1993). Quest, a successful artist and fine art instructor, worked in a diverse array of media including mosaic, stained glass, mural painting and sculpture, but is perhaps best known as a printmaker.

In 1990 Georgetown University Library's Special Collections Division became the grateful recipient of a large body of Quest's work, including prints, drawings, paintings, sculpture and stained glass, as well as his archive of correspondence and professional memorabilia. These extensive holdings, including some 260 of his fine prints from which the exhibition was mounted, provide a rich opportunity for further study.

The exhibition can be virtually viewed.
