| Lynton R. Kistler Studio occupies a significant position in the history of twentieth century American printmaking. Active during a period of transition in the graphic arts, the studio served as a crucial site for professional lithographic production in Southern California. Its was the place where June Wayne developed the use of lithography leading to the formation of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop together these institutions contributed to sustaining and advancing fine art lithography in the United States. Kistler’s press attracted a broad spectrum of artists who sought both the technical rigor and expressive range of the lithographic medium. The studio’s output reflects the intersection of regional artistic communities with wider national and international networks, documenting a moment when lithography played a central role in artistic experimentation and dissemination. The works represented in this collection were printed at Lynton R. Kistler Studio and include lithographs by Jean Charlot, Tyrus Wong, Lee J. Wexler, Milford Zornes, Clinton Adams, and Glenn Vilppu, among others. These prints exemplify the collaborative ethos of the studio and its contribution to the preservation and evolution of lithographic practice during a pivotal era in American art. |
