Title:	Khartoum
Artist:	Parmelee, Terry (Washington, DC, Born, 1929)
Date:	1977
Medium:	Original Woodcut on Goyu Paper
Publisher:	Associated American Artists, New York
Edition:	50 (Artist's Proof Impression)
Note:	"While she continued painting as her primary medium, Parmelee acknowledged her motivation to print, once claiming 'I do not think I would have become a printmaker if I had not met and studied with Carol Summers.' In fact, it is Summers' technical and stylistic influences that are evidenced throughout Parmelee's prints, particularly his staining and rubbing methods that require the direct inking of the paper followed by saturating mineral solvent spray. This innovation of the woodcut technique, which creates a unique and organic impression, is a defining characteristic in many of Parmelee's prints from the 1960's-80's. Among the best known of these prints are Ixtlan and Karthoum commissioned by Sylvan Cole for the Associated American Artists. These woodcuts demonstrate Parmelee's careful arrangement of geometric shapes and application of color in order to transmit a unique expression that explores the psychological effects of color combinations and symbolic meanings. *
	Terry Parmelee: A well known contemporary American painter and printmaker, Terry Parmelee graduated in 1967 with an MA in Fine Arts from American University, Washington, DC. Her first studies in the art of the woodcut took place in the late 1950's, under Un'Ichi Hiratsuka, in Tokyo. Her greatest inspiration in this medium, however, began in 1966 with private studies under Carol Summers (b. 1925). In the following ten years Parmelee developed a strong reputation for her large color woodcuts both in Washington and throughout the country. She also taught woodcut techniques at both Montgomery College (1969-1977) and at the Corcoran School of Art (1972-1973).
