"Once called a 'diabolical craft' because of its technical difficulty, lithography has challenged artists ever since its invention almost 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 memorable lithographs, both in black and white and color, appear among the 250 superb examples illustrated in this volume, the most comprehensive study ever made of the historical and aesthetic development of lithography. Practically every page illustrates an important, and often eye opening, example of the lithographic art."-- from dust-jacket. Translation of, "La Litografia." Includes indexes.
