Printmaking-Lincoln Murray
Printmaking is the method of printing an image or scriptures into a block of material. Printmaking dates all the way back to the 1st century. Printmaking revolutionized information spread because it allowed people to mass distribute images, scriptures, currency, or artwork. The 3 main processes of printmaking is: lithography, relief printing, and intaglio printing.
This print was made by Stephen Alcorn. I found this on google and like how complex it is. I enjoy the color scheme and how it is used to show racial unity. I notice that this print has lines going to the center of the image, possibly used to emphasize the handshake. I wonder why the choice of a printed frame was used instead of a regular frame. What if the frame is used to show the importance of the image, possibly relating it to a family portrait that would be hung on a wall which many people value.
