| Four
Stones for Kanemitsu (DVD) |
$25 1973; 28:15 An Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary (Short Subject), this classic film produced at Tamarind Lithography Workshop shows the collaboration between artist Matsumi Kanemitsu and Master Printer Serge Lozingot as they create a four-color lithograph. Beginning with the graining of the stones, the camera follows the process through the esthetic and technical challenges in drawing, printing, and proofing this complex image. Never before has the actual sense of making a color lithograph in a professional workshop been so vividly and effectively captured in this superb film. Two videos produced at Tamarind Institute offer detailed instructions for Working on Stone and Working on Aluminum Plate. These "short courses" present updated technical information from Clinton Adams' and Garo Antreasian's highly acclaimed Tamarind Book of Lithography. This effective visual format makes the medium even more accessible to students, teachers, printmakers, and collectors. |

topics in the history of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-cen tury
prints. Of the twelve essays in the book, some correct what has been

This collection of essays, Volume 17 of The Tamarind Papers and the third to be produced in book form, describes the intersections of lithography, photography, and established printmaking techniques. Considering topics from William Henry Fox Talbot's botanical illustrations and the Lemerciers' invention of photolithography to the sociopolitical prints of Ben Shahn and Walton Ford's incorporation of the photograph in contemporary lithography, these nine essays mark the hundredth anniversary of the lithographic print and expand the history of graphic processes in nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The connections between lithography and photography are many and varied. This volume expands the reader's knowledge of the history of printmaking and underscores the enduring beauty of prints. Kathleen Stewart Howe, Ph.D., curator of prints and photographs at the University of New Mexico, Art Museum, is the author of Revealing the Holy Land, Excursions Along the Nile and Felix Teynard: Calotypes of Egypt
