Art greeting cards show you care.

The centuries-old practice of marbling paper yields astounding patterns. Some designs are spontaneous, others are controlled; and while techniques vary between cultures, marbling typically refers to a method of transferring color from the surface of a water bath onto a piece of paper. This tradition is carried forth by the contemporary artists represented in The Paper Legacy Project, an initiative spearheaded by the Museum’s Thomas J. Watson Library to preserve and promote the “Golden Age” of American decorated paper. These eye-catching greeting cards feature a selection of modern-day marbled motifs so that you can wish your loved ones a “Happy Birthday” in style.
