"Describes the history and techniques of lithography and silkscreen and presents representative works by such masters as Daumier, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and Picasso."--Alibris.

Surveys techniques and methods in printmaking that encourages students to develop their own ideas.

This book explores a method of silkscreen printing which involves applying thick dye paints or print paste directly on to the back of the screen, allowing it to dry, and then printing off with more dye paint or print paste. In this way the print medium is gradually dissolving the dried on dye on the screen, breaking it down to print an evolving array of colours, marks and textures, and producing interesting distressed, organic and disintegrating effects.
