First Impressions: Early Prints by Forty-Six Contemporary Artists

Providing a new viewpoint of contemporary American printmaking, this illustrated volume surveys the work of a number of painters and sculptors whose contribution to printmaking is widely known. The artists discussed include Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Rauschenberg and Jennifer Bartlett. The author concentrates on the early graphic efforts of such artists and the influence their experiments have had on each other's later work.
