Black Atlantic: Power, People, Resistance
Which stories get remembered, and why? This exhibition explores some new stories from history – stories that help us to separate fact from fiction and history from myth.
Will Carter - Man of Letters
Mon 24 October 2022 - Wed 14 December 2022
Magdalene College, The Robert Cripps Gallery
Honorary Fellow of Magdalene College, Will Carter OBE (1977), was a master craftsman - printer, typographer, calligrapher, carver of wood and slate - for whom good design was “a matter of seeing the simplest way of doing something, which is usually the best”.
He is regarded as amongst the finest lettering artists of his generation and the post-war era.
His fascination with the letter form is evidenced in his skill as a calligrapher, compositor-printer, lettering artist, typeface designer, and letter carver.
The Exhibition shows examples of Carter’s skill as a printer, typographer and font designer; hand-cut letters rendered in stone and wood; book jacket designer; and the well-worn tools he used to create signs, plaques and more personal artefacts.
