Meanwhile, in isolated Japan, artists were developing color wood block printing in a different direction: instead of illustrating books or reproducing paintings, prints became works of art in their own right. While the chiaroscuro technique produced some stunning results, it was soon eclipsed by engravings as the preferred method for reproducing artwork. The 16 th century introduced the innovation of the chiaroscuro wood cut, in which subtle variations in tone create images with shadows and highlights that seek to reproduce drawings and watercolors. The technique was soon adapted for use in the new printing press, and the earliest color press-printed book illustrations co-existed with traditional methods of hand coloring. The exhibition is not a comprehensive survey, but an overview of some of the high points in the medium’s development, with emphasis on American prints of the twentieth century.Īlthough color wood block printing was known in Asia from at least the 8 th century, it was also invented independently in Europe around 1400.
Color in Relief presents over 40 examples of this printmaking technique. The art of carving into wood to create a two dimensional image which can be used to create multiple impressions is the oldest form of graphic art.
