DESCRIPTION:
Phillip Bivins said Wonderful book.. This book was suggested by long time friend of mine Bill Ritchie, retired art professor from the University of Washington, as well as designer and maker of the wonderful Mini Halfwood Etching presses. I had never heard of Krishna Reddy but now I am a real fan of his prints. This book is an excellent book with plenty of experiments using a plethora of hand an machine tools to make marks on copper and zinc plates.. "poor print quality" according to sarah c.. great technical art book for printmaking enthusiasts, but be aware if you buy from amazon - this is not an original edition, it's one of those print-on-demand jobs. It's fine for text, but the print quality is poor, especially for the illustrations and photos. For an art book, that's kind of a shame.
Gabor Peterdi, Former Director, Graphics and Printmaking Program, Yale University The most outstanding feature of the book is its broad approach to the creative process. Not only does it provide significant and clearly explained technical information on printmaking techniques, but Mr. Cancel, Director, The Bronx Museum of the Arts" . It is one of the most complete books on intaglio color printmaking in general. Viscosity color printmaking is, along with the photo transfer process, the most important technical development in printmaking in this century. Luis R. It is by far the best book on viscosity color printing by an outstanding practitioner of this technique. Reddy also explores the fundamental relationship and premise of what an artist
An outstanding innovator and experimenter, Krishna Reddy sees the plate as a sculpted surface, and intaglio printing as a three-dimensional process. He is also a consummate teacher: He can initiate people to an entirely different field of expression, observes a collaborator at Paris famed Atelier 17, which Reddy directed for more than 10 years. By varying ink viscosity and roller density, he has achieved colors of extraordinary complexity on the plate. There are complete formulas, lists of materials and equipment, and step-by-step instructions documented by photos. He serves on numerous award juries, ranging from the Society of American Graphic Artists to the Lalit Kala Akademi of India. Reddy s discovery of the principle of color viscosity has greatly simplified technical processes whil
Reddy, born in India, was educated in India and the West. and Europe. A sculptor and printmaker, he has lived and worked in both the U.S. He has worked in the studios of Henry Moore in England, Marino Marini in Italy, Ossip Zadkine in Paris, and Stanley William Hayter s Atelier 17 in Paris, where he first began to develop his unique printmaking technique." .
