This revised work provides a basic introduction to prints and
printmaking. It provides explanations of different techniques of
printmaking and illustrates both details and whole prints to show
the effects that can be achieved. Woodcut, engraving and mezzotint
are among the different processes explained and placed within an
historical context.
Business leader and arts patron Sir Edwin A. G. Manton (1909-2005)
and his wife Florence, Lady Manton, assembled an outstanding
collection of 18th- and 19th-century British art. A gift to the
Clark Art Institute from the Manton Foundation in 2007, their
collection features more than three hundred oil paintings,
watercolors, drawings, and prints, including works by John
Constable, J. M. W. Turner, Thomas Gainsborough, and William Blake.
In a series of wide-ranging essays, prominent scholars consider the
major works and themes in the collection, relating them to larger
issues within the field of British studies. Individual essays are
devoted to Constable's oil sketches, cloud studies, and magisterial
painting The Wheat Field; the growth of the watercolor tradition;
print portfolios and narrative series; Thomas Rowlandson's satiric
drawings; and Gainsborough's use of experimental materials as
revealed through recent scientific analysis. The volume concludes
with an illustrated checklist of the works in the collection.
