Prints With/Out Pressure: American Relief Prints from the 1940s through the 1960s

This web site offered by New York Public Library (NYPL) complements an exhibition of relief prints on display October 28, 2005 - January 26, 2006. The site includes a brief history of how relief prints came to be an important part of NYPL's collection, an introduction to the process of relief printing, a dozen prints selected from the show, and an annotated A-Z list of artists whose work is held by NYPL. Many of the prints were originally created to be book illustrations. At the site, you will learn how relief prints are created by inking raised areas of a printing plate, usually composed of wood or linoleum; read biographical notes about artists; or discover the context of various illustrations, such as Fritz Eichenberg's Breakfast at Lowood School, for Jane Eyre. There is also a section on the importance of print clubs in American art collecting.
