Uittreksel

The art of printmaking has been developing steadily in Luxembourg since the end of the Second World War and is now recognized as an independent genre: Numerous artists deal with a wide variety of printing techniques, from letterpress, such as wood and linocut, to etching ( Copperplate engraving, drypoint, mezzotint, aquatint, soft ground etching, etc.), lithography and manual screen printing to the more experimental processes of today's printmaking. The works on paper by 84 renowned artists from the collections of the National Museum of History and Art, from the Kupferstichkabinett of the Luxembourg National Library as well as from the artist workshop EMPREINTE and from the contemporary scene also testify to the diverse attempts to demonstrate the artistic and craft potential of the Making full use of printmaking, such as the great interest this expressive art has in the representation of people and their place in the world.
