Printmaking
Carol Summers was an American printmaker known for large-scale woodblock prints created using a distinctive multiblock color technique developed in the 1950s. Working primarily in bold, saturated hues applied across separate carved blocks, he produced vivid landscapes and abstract compositions that bridged modernist abstraction and representational imagery. His approach to woodblock printing expanded the medium's technical and chromatic possibilities during the postwar period.
