## Summary

Printmaking is the art that produces multiples. A drawing is unique; a painting is unique; a print is one of an edition of dozens or hundreds. The artist makes a matrix — a carved block, an incised plate, a stone with greasy drawing, a stretched fine-mesh screen — and the matrix is then printed onto paper. The original is not the finished print; the original is the matrix, which can produce many prints over time... Key sections include: Print making.; Opening The art of the matrix.; Chapter I The five techniques.; Chapter II Chinese woodblock and the Diamond Sutra.; Chapter III Albrecht Dürer.; Chapter IV Rembrandt the etcher.; Chapter V Goya's prints.; Chapter VI Hokusai and ukiyo-e.; Chapter VII Senefelder's invention.; Chapter VIII Toulouse-Lautrec and the poster..
