Stone and Press Gallery celebrates artists who have worked in traditional printmaking techniques to create fine art that is accessible and collectible for all. Artists, past and present, have used these techniques to promote an idea, to protest an outrage, and even to produce the original “selfies”.

“I talk a lot about my sexuality through my phot

“I talk a lot about my sexuality through my photos, I feel that there is something that makes me feel. There is always this little sexual impulse in what I portray, going a little bit beyond normal. Here in the jungle, it’s cool because it correlates with nature. I love those two languages together.”
-Inon Sani

Sani’s 2018 photograph of playful nude boys diving into a river in Iquitos, Peru is impression #1 of an edition of 10. It is pencil signed on the back of the image and annotated with artist city and country. Iquitos is a Peruvian port city and gateway to the jungle lodges and tribal villages of the northern Amazon.

Alyssa first appears abstract. Then very slowly you realize it is an extreme close up of a young woman's face covered with drops of water. Eventually the water droplets appear each containing bits and pieces of the woman's face and torso.

For the last four years most photographs Rollin Leonard’s taken have been through a drop of water, pushing the limits of water as an optical tool.

Another hundred people just got off of the train
And came up through the ground,
While another hundred people just got off of the boat

Year of the Woman?
When Bella Abzug was elected to Congress in 1971 she was one of 13 women (less than 2.98%) of a total of 435 individuals serving in the House. Two women out of 100 were in the Senate. In 2018, there are 84 women (19.3%) in the House and 23 women (23%) in the Senate.
Bella Abzug was a leading liberal activist and politician in the 1960s and 1970s, especially known for her work for women’s rights. In the 1960s, Bella Abzug became involved the anti-nuclear and peace movements and helped organize the Women Strike for Peace in 1961. To promote women’s issues and to lobby for reform, she helped establish the National Women’s Political Caucus with Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem, and to have a greater impact on the political process, she served in the House of Representatives from 1971 to 1977.
