The Art of Print: From Hogarth to Hockney

A survey of printmaking across three centuries, drawn from Tate's extensive and little-known print collection. Art historian and curator Elizabeth Jacklin structures the book around different printmaking techniques, using over 120 reproductions and carefully selected details to illuminate the visual effects and creative experimentation each process makes possible.

Featured artists include William Hogarth, George Stubbs, William Blake, J.M.W. Turner, Pablo Picasso, Barbara Hepworth, Andy Warhol, Lucian Freud, Bridget Riley, Paula Rego, William Kentridge, and Kara Walker. Published by Abrams, the book makes the case for prints as finished artworks in their own right, the result of considered creative decisions rather than reproductions or preparatory material.
