Description
Drawing on the magnificent collection of fine prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, this vibrant full-color book celebrates the rich diversity of the print as a 20th-century art form. Edvard Munch, Eduardo Paolozzi, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Marc Chagall, Ben Shahn, and Jasper Johns are just a few of the renowned artists whose prints can be found in these pages.
For every year of the 20th century there is a print or set of prints, ranging from an exquisite photogravure of Lincoln Cathedral (1900) to Shroud (2000), a screen print by artist Lee Wagstaff. Every page conveys the innovative possibilities of printmaking that excite the artistic imagination and make this affordable medium so popular with art lovers and collectors.
