Lithography: 200 years of art, history and technique

by Domenico Porzio

Once called a "diabolical craft" because of its technical difficulty, lithography has challenged artists every since its invention two centuries ago. Cezanne, Daumier, Delacroix, Gauguin, Giacometti, Goya, Klee, Matisse, Munch, Picasso, Rouault, and Whistler are only a few who were fascinated by the technique. Their lithographs, in black and white and in color, appear among 250 examples illustrated in this volume, the most comprehensive study ever made of the historical and aesthetic development of lithography.

Overall it was a good book if you want to know the history behind and all the stuff, but I wish it had less pictures and more techniques, examples...
