Prints and Their Makers

"An exploration of historical and contemporary fine art printmaking, with an emphasis on the roles and processes of the artist, master printer, and publisher"-- Prints and Their Makers takes you behind the scenes to witness the creative process at the world's top printmaking workshops. Master printer Phil Sanders offers an in-depth look at this versatile medium and places contemporary prints and practices in the context of traditions and techniques developed over more than a thousand years. Clear and engaging explanations illuminate seven major printmaking processes: relief, intaglio, lithography, monotype, screenprint, photogravure, and chine collé. Sanders highlights the collaborative nature of printmaking through up-close profiles and photographs of distinguished artists working with their printers and publishers.--
