by Chris Byrne
Printmaking spans everything from hand prints on ancient cave walls
to Rembrandt's copper etchings of the Virgin and Child and Warhol's
soup cans to the potato prints made by today's second grader at the
kitchen table. Byrne, a print publisher and curator, here focuses
on strictly contemporary uses of etching, aquatint, lithography, and
screen printing. He covers both basic techniques and the joint experimentation
of artist and master printer, surveying the American print scene with
examples from ten of the top North American print houses. Recommended
for collections serving advanced students and professionals.

by Simon Schama
Schama presents eight remarkable artists who created their masterworks
against a backdrop of personal and professional distress. From politically
charged commentaries (David, Picasso, Turner and Rembrandt) to intensely
personal visions of the world (van Gogh and Rothko) and the reinvention
of the divine (Bernini and Caravaggio), Schama takes these masters'
hallowed works off the museum wall and drags them through the mud
and muck that went into their creation. |

An great reference for art historians, students, and general readers.
This chronological treatment is not limited to technical aspects,
but is balanced with examination of the cultural and economic forces
behind each medium as it developed, the achievements of individual
artists, and the historical and cultural context of the work. (From

an etching and an aquatint, woodcuts and lithographs - or if you need
a refresher - this small book is one of the best around. |
