Carol Summers (December 26, 1925 – October 27, 2016) was an American printmaker, known for creating works by woodcut process.Summers created his prints through a process he developed in the 1950s that became known in as the "Carol Summers technique": soaking large blocks of wood in ink, he placed them in patterns on one side of a piece of paper in order to, as one reviewer described his work, "give beautiful, blurry, shapes to the other side. The results are simple, decorative and uniquely vibrant."[1]Summers's work is part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum,[1] the Museum of Modern Art in New York City[2] and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.[3]In addition to his art, Summers had a career as a teacher, serving as an instructor at Hunter College, the Brooklyn Museum School, Pratt Graphics Center, and Columbia University.[4]
