"The Tamarind Lithography Workshop has almost single-handedly revived the difficult medium of lithography in the past decade. It has provided not only the materials but also the environment that fosters the delicate collaboration between artist and printer. ... Since Tamarind opened its doors in 1960 it has provided fellowships for numerous artists and printers, most of whom have continued their exploration of lithography after leaving Tamarind. The author describes this unique Workshop and also gives a brief history of lithography in Europe and the United States."--Dust jacket flap.
