Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

This course explores how various printmaking media, such as woodcut, etching, lithography, and silkscreen have changed the way artists put their ideas to paper from the Renaissance to contemporary times. Beginning with European woodcut and engraving in the early 15th century and Japanese woodblock printing dating from the 17th century, students examine how print technologies related to the older methods they replaced. Emphasis will be placed on major printmakers including Dürer, Rembrandt, Piranesi, Goya, Utamaro, Hokusai, Hiroshige, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Kollwitz, Munch, and contemporary artists such as Lorna Simpson, Chuck Close, Kiki Smith, and others. Uses of prints in popular and propagandistic communication will also be explored.
