Reviewing relief, intaglio, photogravure, lithography, and other methods, Sanders explains the hows and whys of each form or printmaking, using beautiful examples from the best artists and printmakers working today....Master printmakers often go uncredited, and this book gives them a chance to shine, highlighting all that is possible through their expertise and creative problem-solving." - Art Object "From the beginning, printmaking has been about multiplying and magnifying human stories. Using artist case studies and gor?geous contemporary and historical prints, Sanders amplifies the story of printmaking itself, exploring today's fine art printmaking in the context of the traditions, techniques, and processes developed over centuries." - American Craft, "Prints and Their Makers?connects the world of contemporary printmaking with the historical techniques and technologies that that have developed over centuries....It's impossible to summarize the wellspring of history and technical details that Sanders offers in?Prints and Their Makers, but the most evocative, consistent theme to run through the work is the collaborative aspect of printmaking." - Glasstire About the Author Phil Sanders is a collaborative master printer as well as founder and president of the creative services firm PS Marlowe.
