The printed image: a space for writing and drawing

This paper considers a range of artists for whom printmaking has provided a means to bring together the languages of both writing and drawing. Traditionally, the print studio has serviced both word and image, as well as often bridging the space between the informal drawing and the published editioned print, provided a range of approaches and attitudes. Amongst the artists whose graphic work will be discussed are, Piranesi, Picasso, Rivers, Johns, & Toguo.
