Lithography has reflected the history of art movements, and it has continued to provide a versatile and challenging medium for artists. An understanding of the work of Daumier, Corot, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Whistler, Matisse, and Picasso is not complete without consideration of their lithographic output, and lithography is central to the efforts of many contemporary artists, including Stella, Hockney, Motherwell, and Albers.

This volume gives a clear feeling for the background, processes, and potential of the lithographic medium, and traces the scope and significance of the work of lithographers to the present.

From Library Journal:

This collection of carefully researched essays offers new information on such varied topics as British lithographic printer Charles Hullmandel (b. 1789) and the nearly contemporary French color lithographer Auguste Clot; the growth of lithography in the United States after World War II; and lithography in France and Germany at the turn of the century. Scholarly in approach, the work assumes familiarity with lithographic techniques and supplements such basic histories as Lithography: 200 Years of Art, History, & Technique ( LJ 12/15/83). Many high-quality reproductions, translated letters, and a list of works associated with Clot make it especially valuable. Recommended for academic and larger public libraries. Lynne N.
