  • Techniques of Printmaking
    Techniques of printmaking. BLOCK PRINTING WOOD CUT Woodblock printing, known as xylography today, was the first method of printing applied to a paper medium. It became widely used throughout East Asia both as a method for printing on textiles and later, under the influence of Buddhism, on paper. As a method of printing on cloth, the earliest surviving examples from China date to about 220. Ukiyo-e is the best known type of Japanese woodblock art print. Most European uses of the technique on paper are covered by the term woodcut, except for the block-books produced mainly in the fifteenth century. Book illustration of the Durer, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Hortus Sanitatis lapidary c1496 Woodcut. Technique Woodcut is a relief printing technique in printmaking. An artist carves an image into the surface of a block of wood—typically with gouges—leaving the printing parts level with the surface while removing the non-printing parts. Areas that the artist cuts away carry no ink, while characters or images at surface level carry the ink to produce the print. The block is cut along the wood grain (unlike wood engraving, where the block is cut in the end-grain). The surface is covered with ink by rolling over the surface with an ink-covered roller (brayer), leaving ink upon the flat surface but not in the non-printing areas. Flat bed Printer. For colour printing, multiple blocks are used, each for one colour, although overprinting two colours may produce further colours on the print. Multiple colours can be printed by keying the paper to a frame around the woodblocks.

  • Rembrandt Exhibition Labels
    Celebrating Rembrandt: Etchings from the Morgan July 15 through October 1, 2006 Exhibition Labels To celebrate the four-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Rembrandt (1606–1669), the Morgan presents selected etchings from its exceptional holdings. Pierpont Morgan (1837– 1913) laid the foundation for this collection—the finest in North America—when he acquired his first etchings from Theodore Irwin, Sr., in 1900 and George W. Vanderbilt in 1906. Today the Morgan has most of the known etchings by Rembrandt, many of superb quality, as well as multiple, often exceedingly rare impressions of various states. This exhibition showcases some of the most celebrated etchings in the collection along with a few lesser-known and rarely exhibited examples. Rembrandt’s career as a printmaker paralleled his work as a painter. From his youth in Leiden to his later years in Amsterdam, he created some three hundred etchings and drypoints. His fascination with the world around him, his technical brilliance, and his desire to capture a wide array of subjects enabled him to create etchings unrivaled in their dramatic intensity, penetrating psychology, and touching humanity. This exhibition celebrates Rembrandt’s skill as a master storyteller and is organized according to some of the recurring themes of his work, including portraiture, the Bible, everyday life, the nude, and landscape. Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, 1606–1669 Self-Portrait in a Soft Hat and Embroidered Cloak, 1631 Bartsch 7. White and Boon 7. Tenth state of eleven.

  • Masterpiece Minute Ep. 24 PDF
    Welcome back to Masterpiece Minute with Doc Brown on Virtual SDMA. I’m your host, Michael Brown, Curator of European Art at The San Diego Museum of Art. Drop in every Friday at 10am to pick up a new mini talk led by SDMA curators and their guests spotlighting works of art from the Museum’s collection. This week we look at a masterpiece of printmaking in a self-portrait by the famous Dutch artist Rembrandt. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, or simply Rembrandt, was born in Leiden in the Dutch Republic in 1606. Leiden was the home of one of Europe’s great universities, where Rembrandt was briefly enrolled, and it was also known for its printing presses and for its small community of English pilgrims who would set sail for Plymouth Rock during Rembrandt’s childhood. While he found success as a young artist in his hometown, the driven and ambitious Rembrandt had relocated to the booming commercial center of Amsterdam by 1632. He earned his first big paychecks by painting life-size portraits of the wealthy, often self- made merchants of the city. He also attracted commissions from the ruling stadholder, Prince Frederick Henry, in the 1630s and 1640s. Rembrandt is best known for the enormous group portrait, the Night Watch at the Rijksmuseum, painted in 1642. However, during his lifetime, Rembrandt’s fame rested on his prints, which reached audiences all over Europe and were primarily in the medium of etching. In this, his best known etching self-portrait, Rembrandt shows himself at work—holding a drypoint needle, which he is using to add details to an etched copper plate.

  • Study on a Rembrandt Enlightenment to Discuss the Connection Between Intaglio Printmaking & Monoprint
    Study on a Rembrandt Enlightenment to Discuss the Connection between Intaglio Printmaking & Monoprint 1. Introduction ▊ Yue-Sheng Hwang The Monotype or Monoprint Method refers to applying inking to layout or on partial artwork, or to represent arts through paintings. After a special or partial treatment by wiping, the ink is transferred to print paper to represent a single, unique printing result of one piece of printmaking. The tag of its artwork can be either 1/1 or Monotype or Monoprint. Kurt Wisneski defines these two terminologies as follows as stated in his book ‘Monotype / Monoprint History and Techniques’: Monotype The word monotype is an amalgam that, when broken into its two components, is not unfamiliar. Mono means alone, one, or single and the reference to type points directly to a relationship with the field of printing- type is a term used to describe a letter style or even a lead block that carries the character that prints a letter form. When reassembled, the word monotype refers to the results of a printing process that starts with an empty plate. An image is initially painted onto a blank plate, and this blank plate only acts as an intermediary in the process. The painted image is then transferred to paper, or some other form of support. The final printed image is a monotype, and is unique; to reproduce it exactly would be somewhat difficult. 1 Monoprint In contrast to the term monotype, the word monoprint describes a somewhat different process. The use of the word print more directly allies the process to the field of printmaking.
