"The exhibition highlights Van Vliet's vibrant pulp paintings, made by 'painting' with pigmented paper pulps, her striking prints and broadsides, and her captivating sculptural book structures. Handmade paper is integral to the meaning and experience of each of the artworks on view. Thematic threads throughout the exhibition illuminate Van Vliet's collaborative spirit, exploration of social issues, and profound connection to the natural world, resonating with the expressive language of poets like Rita Dove, Keri Hulme, Galway Kinnell, and Denise Levertov. Marking the 70th anniversary of Van Vliet's Janus Press, the show celebrates a recent gift to the Boston Athenaeum of a complete Janus Press collection by an anonymous donor"--From the Boston Athenaeum website
