Four Stones for Kanemitsu (VHS Video or DVD)
$25.00
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.

Hot Off the Press: Prints and Politics

Edited by Linda P. Tyler and Barry Walker
Hardbound, $45.00
Softbound, $24.95

For years, the Tamarind Papers has provided a forum for the examination of issues related to printmaking. This collection of essays by printers, artists, curators, and historians, the first issue of the Tamarind Papers to be produced in book form, focuses on issues surrounding the interaction of the printmaker with the political realities of society.

The New Deal, with its WPA art projects, was a golden age for lithographic printmakers. In this collection are found a tribute to Gustave von Groschwitz, a central figure in the federal Graphic Arts Division of the WPA in New York; an essay on and checkli st of the prints of Robert Gwathmey, active in the Philadelphia WPA project and concerned conditions of African-Americans in the South.

Included in this volume is an original print by Eric Avery. In addition, there are interviews with Eric Avery and Patrick Nagatani, both artists concerned with current social issues; an overview of the evolution of social awareness in nineteenth-century F rench prints; and articles by two Tamarind Master Printers on waterless lithography.

Lithography continues to thrive both by honoring its long artistic heritage and by engaging in ongoing experimentation This volume celebrates that rich diversity.

Second Impressions: Modern Prints and Printmakers Reconsidered
Edited by Clinton Adams
Softbound, $29.95

This collection of essays, the second volume of The Tamarind Papers to be produced in book form by the University of New Mexico Press, offers print experts the rare opportunity to reexamine 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 previously published, some add new information to the record; others reevaluate new prints or printmakers in the light of changed historical perspectives.

Three of the essays focus on late nineteenth-century France. One examines Paul Signac's unpublished correspondence with his printer August Clot to clarify circumstances that surround publication of his radiant color lithographs in he 1890's. One looks at anti-Modernist Paul Blanc, and another reevaluates the diversity of art in France during this period. Another series of articles explores aspects of American printmaking by reexamining the work of Child Hassam, Wanda Gag, Arshile Gorky, Will Barnet, John Steuart Curry, and the Federal Art Project's lithography unit in San Francisco.

All told, these essays not only add to our knowledge of specific artist and their prints but also suggest methodologies through which other historians may usefully reconsider and reappraise the complex history of the modern print.

The Tamarind Papers, Volume 17 (1997-98)
Intersections: Lithography, Photography, and the Traditions of Printmaking
Edited by Kathleen Stewart Howe,Curator of Prints and Photographs, University of New Mexico Art Museum

Soft cover, $29.95

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
