Printmakers Today
by Jeffrey B. Snyder. Available from Schiffer Books and other fine booksellers.

Inspiring color photos review the art of today's printmakers, from massive installation pieces to small and surprising three-dimensional works. The techniques range from classical to the experimental, including woodcuts, lithographs, screenprints, silkscreens, etching, mezzotint, serigraph print, linocut, solarplate, vitreograph, photoetching, aquatint, drypoint, digital transfer, and more. Each artist describes the techniques employed and inspirations involved.
