Features: Western prints primarily use copper engraving and lithography. Both of these printing techniques can be drawn by the artist's hand, making it easy to showcase the artist's unique style. Over the centuries, the artistic heritage in prints has become increasingly profound. In the second half of the 19th century, European painting shifted from traditional representation to expression, and prints emerged as a highly appealing expressive medium for artists. At this time, the "Original Print Movement" was successfully launched, further solidifying the independent artistic value of prints in social life and public perception. As a result, prints were fully equipped to integrate into modern art. This book is based on printmaking education, collecting, organizing, and introducing Western printmaking materials, hoping to provide some reference knowledge for students aspiring to printmaking and those interested in printmaking art.
