Prints and Their Makers
"An exploration of historical and contemporary fine art printmaking, with an emphasis on the roles and processes of the artist, master printer, and publisher"--
The Printmaker
When a reclusive printmaker dies, his friend inherits the thousands of etchings and drawings he has stored in his house over the years. Overwhelmed by the task of sorting and exhibiting this work, she seeks the advice of a curator. What compulsion drove the printmaker to make art for four decades, and why did he so seldom show his prints? When the curator discovers a single, sealed box addressed to a man in Zimbabwe, she feels compelled to go in search of him to present him with the package, hoping to find an answer to the enigma of the printmaker's solitary life. Bronwyn Law-Viljoen’s subtle and sophisticated novel reflects on one man’s obsessive need to make meaning through images and to find, in art, the traces of love and friendship.
Mmakgabo Mmapula Mmankgato Helen Sebidi
Mmakgabo Sebidi traverses mental and physical landscapes with an eye trained on the dangerous, the discomfiting, the traumatic and the ecstatic in human experience. She is deeply grounded in her rural upbringing and traditions but also finely attuned to the rhythms of the city in which she has spent much of her adult life. Sebidi brings together these two worlds in works of great visionary and prophetic power. Her themes are wide-ranging: her cultural roots, the wisdom of the ancestors, the ravages of the modern world on the human psyche, the loss of tradition, the potential of human creativity to build relationships and restore the past. -- publisher's website.
William Kentridge
This visually compelling publication highlights The Museum of Modern Art's unparalleled collection of prints and books byWilliam Kentridge - nearly fifty works spanning the past three decades. The book also features a succession of artistic interventions made by Kentridge especially for the occasion. Kentridge's practice brings together drawing, film animation, books, sculpture and performance. Too little known is the extent to which the artist applies his astonishing draftsmanship to the techniques of printmaking, including etching, screenprinting, lithography and linoleum cut. In fact printmaking has always been essential to his work, from his first forays into visual art in the 1970s to h...

Nose
William Kentridge was commissioned in 2006 by the Metropolitan Opera House in New York to design and direct the opera The Nose by Dmitri Shostakovich. In December of the same year, he began collaboration with printmaker Jillian Ross of David Krut Print Workshop, Johannesburg on a suite of etching that would explore some of his many ideas for the opera. The prints were imagined as an adventure with the protagonist of The Nose, through modern Russian history, literature, and art, with side trips into Cervantes, Sterne and Russian film. They demonstrate Kentridge's superb mastery of dry point and etching, his wry, iconoclastic treatment of Western art history, and his ongoing commitment to making limited-edition works on paper an integral part of his substantial oeuvre.
