Fall semester 2020 brings season 3 of the Creativity Conversations podcast.

This podcast episode features excerpts the Feb. 2019 conversation between woodcut artist Tom Hück and Michael C. Carlos Museum Curator of Works on Paper Andi McKenzie. Watch the video of the original conversation.

Best known for his large-scale woodcuts, Hück's brash sociopolitical commentary draws from great satirists like Hogarth, Daumier, and R. Crumb. His technique, however, is inspired by the famed German woodcut artists of the Northern Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer and Martin Schongauer, among others. Hück and McKenzie discuss these influences and Huck's creative enterprise, Evil Prints, where he creates his own work and trains the next generation of remarkable printmakers.

This conversation is introduced by host/Arts at Emory employee Maggie Beker and Emory College student Joel Hines. Beker and Hines introduce the podcast, discuss Hines' own creative works, and enjoy exploring a medium foreign to them both - woodcutting.

This program is part of the Rosemary M. Magee Creativity Conversation endowed series.
