What is a print? This volume aims to answer that question by
exploring the four basic printmaking techniques--woodcut, intaglio,
lithography and screenprint--that have been used to create some of
the most iconic images in modern art, from Paul Gauguin's "Noa Noa"
to Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe." Illustrated with works from The
Museum of Modern Art's superlative collection of prints, the book
is divided into four sections that provide an overview introduction
to each technique. Each section presents approximately 40 prints
that demonstrate the range and variety of a particular technique
and illustrate its development over the last century. Extended
captions highlight the distinctive visual effects unique to each
technique, and examine issues specific to printmaking, such as
democratic ideas about distribution and social and political
function. Featured works range from Edvard Munch's radical woodcut
experiments from the 1890s to Kelley Walker's digital experiments
of the last several years, and include prints by modern masters
like Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro as well as those made by a roster
of international contemporary artists who continue to explore and
expand these techniques today.
