episode 54 : newton paul

In this episode Miranda speaks with Newton Paul. Newton is a collector and researcher of African American and Cuban prints from both contemporary and historical artists. Print friends, get out your pen and paper out for this one, Newton is a fountain of knowledge and resources when it comes to these subjects and you’ll learn about incredible new printmakers. Newton shares with us how a chance encounter at the Harlem Fine Art Show started him on his journey into the world of printmaking, his travels to Cuba and working in the archives there, the thrill of discovering forgotten and lost histories in twentieth-century printmaking, and the book he’s writing for aspiring art collectors.
