Four Stones for
Kanemitsu (VHS Video or DVD)
$25.00
1973; 28:15
An Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary (Short Subject), this classic film produced at Tamarind Lithography Workshop shows the collaboration between artist Matsumi Kanemitsu and Master Printer Serge Lozingot as they create a four-color lithograph. Beginning with the graining of the stones, the camera follows the process through the esthetic and technical challenges in drawing, printing, and proofing this complex image. Never before has the actual sense of making a color lithograph in a professional workshop been so vividly and effectively captured in this superb film.
Two videos produced at Tamarind Institute offer detailed instructions for Working on Stone and Working on Aluminum Plate. These "short courses" present updated technical information from Clinton Adams' and Garo Antreasian's highly acclaimed Tamarind Book of Lithography. This effective visual format makes the medium even more accessible to students, teachers, printmakers, and collectors.

The Tamarind Papers,
Volume 15 (1993-94) Hot Off the Press: Prints and Politics Edited by Linda P. Tyler and Barry Walker Hardbound, $45.00 Softbound, $24.95 |
For years, the Tamarind Papers has provided a forum for the examination of issues related to printmaking. This collection of essays by printers, artists, curators, and historians, the first issue of the Tamarind Papers to be produced in book form, focuses on issues surrounding the interaction of the printmaker with the political realities of society.
The New Deal, with its WPA art projects, was a golden age for lithographic printmakers. In this collection are found a tribute to Gustave von Groschwitz, a central figure in the federal Graphic Arts Division of the WPA in New York; an essay on and checkli st of the prints of Robert Gwathmey, active in the Philadelphia WPA project and concerned conditions of African-Americans in the South.
Included in this volume is an original print by Eric Avery. In addition, there are interviews with Eric Avery and Patrick Nagatani, both artists concerned with current social issues; an overview of the evolution of social awareness in nineteenth-century F rench prints; and articles by two Tamarind Master Printers on waterless lithography.
Lithography continues to thrive both by honoring its long artistic heritage and by engaging in ongoing experimentation This volume celebrates that rich diversity.

The Tamarind Papers, Volume 16 (1995-96) |
Three of the essays focus on late nineteenth-century France. One examines Paul Signac's unpublished correspondence with his printer August Clot to clarify circumstances that surround publication of his radiant color lithographs in he 1890's. One looks at anti-Modernist Paul Blanc, and another reevaluates the diversity of art in France during this period.
Another series of articles explores aspects of American printmaking by reexamining the work of Child Hassam, Wanda Gag, Arshile Gorky, Will Barnet, John Steuart Curry, and the Federal Art Project's lithography unit in San Francisco.
All told, these essays not only add to our knowledge of specific artist and their prints but also suggest methodologies through which other historians may usefully reconsider and reappraise the complex history of the modern print.
