Albert CarmanAlbert Carman was basically trained as a painter, but while teaching at the Florence Cane School in New York, he met Jean Charlot, and became interested in printing color lithography with the use of a Multilith press. The two men were committed to this new method of producing original lithographic prints, in several colors, at a low cost to the artist.
A group practicing the process was formed at the Charles L. Morgan Galleries on 57th Street, NYC, called "The Artists Color Proof Associates." It was to be a communal movement by artists, for artists, and would be a print studio organization. The printing of the lithographs would be done by Albert Carman. Some of the artists participating in the project were, Jean Charlot, Howard Cook, Don Freeman, Russell Limbach, Louis Lozowick, George L.K. Morris, David Park, and others.
Carman left teaching and focused on a career as a printer. His most important work was his collaboration with Marc Chagall on 13 color lithographs for, The Tales from the Arabian Nights, published in 1948.
