Multiple Methods: A Print Exhibition
Lithography was invented in 1798 by the German commercial printer and artist Alois Senefelder, and it remains the most common form of commercial printing today, as offset lithography. Lithography is based on the science that oil and water do not mix. The image is held on the porous surface of a limestone block or textured metal plate. Because of this single surface, the process is very sensitive to traditional drawing and painting techniques and is often used by artists working with master printers.
These litho prints were produced by participants of Space One Eleven’s lithography workshop led by Master Printer, Darin Forehand of Forehand Press in Houston.
