Description: "Extensively illustrated and with essays by both established print scholars and new voices, this volume introduces the printmaking pioneers who nurtured an environment suitable for the founding of the countryâ s most significant print shop and addresses the spectacular spread of printmaking from its modern beginnings in Southern California within the larger narrative of postwar American art. In the 1950s, the print world in Los Angeles was small but active. It was made of artists, educators, collectors, and curators whose collaboration led to the triumphant founding of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop led by June Wayne in 1960. The first goal of the workshop was to â create a pool of master artisan-printers in the United Statesâ to revive the medium of fine art lithography. The story goes on to include two other major workshopsâ "Gemini G. E. L. And Cirrus Editionsâ "plus artists working independently and the academic printmaking community. Drawing mainly on the extensive print collection of the Norton Simon Museum, the book includes works by the local founders of the movement such as John Altoon, Garo Antreasian, Richard Diebenkorn, Sam Francis, Ed Moses, Ken Price, Ed Ruscha, and June Wayne as well as by artists who traveled west to print in Los Angeles such as Joseph Albers, Bruce Conner, Lee Mullican, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, and Robert Rauschenberg." -- with a bonus offer--; This is a lavishly illustrated exploration of the rise of printmaking in Southern California and its legacy on post-war American art.
