Druck gemacht!: ausgewählte Werke der Grafischen Sammlung

Abstract

"What is the unique characteristic of printmaking as an artistic medium? Are there things that artists could only express using this method? And why do traditional techniques like woodcuts or etchings continue to exert such an unbroken fascination on artists and the public alike? Using selected works from the Graphic Collection of the Kunsthaus Zürich--including works by Albrecht Dürer, Francisco de Goya and Edvard Munch, Käthe Kollwitz, Miriam Cahn and many others--this book explores fundamental questions about printmaking and provides insight into the most important processes. These range from long-established techniques such as woodcut and copperplate engraving to more recent techniques such as photomechanical screen printing and inkjet printing. "Druck gemacht!" presents a selection of the finest prints from the Kunsthaus Zürich collection, offering the first comprehensive appreciation of this area of ​​its holdings. The 175 illustrated works and concise texts demonstrate that printmaking is far more than a medium of reproduction: in the interplay of ink, line, and surface, it always possesses autonomous artistic qualities." --machine-translated content
