"Indianapolis born Garo Antreasian is regarded as one of American's foremost lithographers. He studied printmaking with Will Barnet and with Stanley Hayter at Atelier 17 in New York. As a pioneer in the craft of lithography in the United States, he helped to establish European influence and techniques here. For sixteen years, he was on the faculty of the Herron School of Art. He served as Technical Director of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop at Los Angeles from 1960-61, and filled the same position at the Tamarind Institute at the University of New Mexico from 1970-72. His works have appeared in a number of prestigious national and international exhibitions, and he is represented in numerous prominent permanent collections, including those of the Chicago Art Institute and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
Antreasian's work has a relationship to Optical and Geometric art as well as to Minimalism. He is noted for his ability to obtain and control a great range of subtle colors within a simple and unshadowed imagery."
