LASTING IMPRESSIONS, LITHOGRAPHY AS ART.

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.
