Description:"The intention of this book is both to provide the artist, student, and layman with a manual of the technical printmaking process. and. through an explication of my values, to show not only how, but why, collagraph prints are made. I hope to offer information and ideas that must be experienced rather than merely retained as information; a personal understanding and appreciation of the principles of the method should be developed instead of doing things simply as I do them...Photographs of my completed works, my working procedure, and details of prints are included to convey my attitude and the mood of the work...The body of the text in this book is a discussion of the process, from its initial phase of selecting material, through printing, and critical analysis of the ensuing work. The format of organization may facilitate the use of this book as a reference, but it is not intended to imply that appreciation and creative experience is necessarily so formally organized."-- from introduction by Stewart Nagel. Includes selected bibliography (p. 59).
