The Renaissance of Gravure: The Art of S.W. Hayter

S.W. Hayter (1901-1988) was one of the most important printmakers of the 20th century, famed for his innovations in intaglio printmaking and his association with artists from Picasso to Pollock. This volume, published to coincide with a major retrospective of Hayter's prints at the Ashmolean Museum, presents six essays surveying his work and contribution to modern art. It includes extensive biographical and bibliographical notes, a catalog of the forthcoming exhibition, and 40 color and black-&-white plates.
