Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. is an acclaimed American letterpress printer, book artist, and papermaker whose vibrant, text-driven works explore themes of social justice, race, and community. Known for his bold typography and colorful hand-printed posters, Kennedy uses traditional letterpress techniques to create art that is both visually striking and socially engaged. A self-described "humble Negro printer," he has dedicated his career to making print accessible and democratic. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in major collections, including the Library of Congress and the Museum of Modern Art. In Kennedy's own words, "Letterpress printing is for humanity...fine printing is for the bourgeois."
