Colophon page from Folio

Terry Winters

(1985-1986)

A lithograph colophon page from Terry Winters's Folio that combines handlike vertical color swatches with the artist’s handwritten publication details to make the portfolio’s making itself the subject.

You encounter rows of thick, painterly rectangular strokes—blues, reds, yellows, greys and blacks—whose ragged edges, faint drips, and the tooth of deckled paper sit alongside a precise, slanted hand describing edition and production notes.

By showcasing swatches, handwriting, and paper as visible evidence of process, this sheet reflects a late‑20th‑century impulse in printmaking to blur painting, design, and publication and to present the artist’s method as part of the work.
