The
POWER of the PRESS
 A
selection of 'graphic' images
The
particular integration of black ink and white paper
that results from the passage through the press seems
to give an enhancement and authority to an image. This
is attested in the accrued meanings of such everyday
expressions as graphic and impressive, which reflect
print terminology.
The very ability, intrinsic to the majority of printmaking
techniques, to multiply identical images, results not
only in the possibility of their wide dissemination but
through the resulting familiarity the most telling obtain
iconic status.
The
printmaking processes provide a rich variety of surface
qulaities both linear and tonal that are unobtainable
by means of other artistic media. This is perhaps particular
noticeable in the profundity of black made available
by ink transferred from a lithographic stone, or a copper
plate worked in drypoint or the complexity of multiple
striations of the serrated mezzotint rocker.
 This catalogue selection, as well as some iconic images
and rich examples of drypoint or etched hatching by Rembrandt,
Samuel Palmer, Vogeler and Muirhead Bone, includes a
section devoted to the modern revival of mezzotint.
