Inextricably steeped in a condescending tone, it's a good overview which led me to a few new artists. Might re-read.

ilove this book, big n representative. Paul coldwell menjabarkan dahulu printmaking dalam sudut pandang konvensional lalu kemudian dia baca melalui perkembangan yang dia lihat sekarang. buku ini menjadi begitu personal, baik dalam memilih seniman yang di bahasnya maupun bagaimana dia membaca seni grafis diantara perkembangan seni seni lain pada masa kontemporer ini. dia bersifat sangat terbuka dengan kemungkinan kemungkinan perkembangan printmaking.
Seandainya beliau sempat meneliti ke Bandung Indonesia,di tahun 90an mungkin dia akan senang melihat ada suatu pameran menjadikan tai kambing sebagai karya printmaking, atau mahasiswa tugas akhir yang goreng bala bala, dan bilang ini adalah printmaking, toh sama sama di cetak ! haha

Ini buku segar tentang printmaking yang sudah jarang kita temui akhir akhir ini, yeach lets print beibh

Quite basic, nothing earth shattering rather an easy history and technical overview of printmaking. Definitely a good book for newcomers to printmaking. Coldwell left out a few important artists and some of the work didn't impress me. It also bothered me that he chose to include his own work.
