Garo Antreasian (b.1922) began composing large lithographs in the 1950s while teaching at the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis, Indiana. Antreasian studied printmaking with Stanley Hayter and Will Barnet at the famous Atelier 17 studio in New York. In 1960 he became the technical director at Tamarind Lithography Workshop where he was joint author of a definitive work on lithography, The Tamarind Book of Lithography, with Clinton Adams. In his 1968 lithograph From the Silver Suite, Antreasian creates a composition of geometric abstraction with a fragmented picture plane in bold, solid colors.
