Tandem print show too safe

What is it that makes the Tandem Press prints — now on show at the University of Wisconsin’s Chazen Museum of Art through April 9 — so appealing and yet so safe? That’s the question I found myself asking as I toured this exhibition, which is an eye-pleaser, to be sure.

You will find a lot of art you like. But, I suspect, you will find relatively little to really love and absolutely nothing to really hate. In short, the art seems not so much middle-brow as mainstream.
