Catlett once said that the purpose of her work was to “present black people in their beauty and dignity for ourselves and others to understand and enjoy.” Sharecropper calls attention to the tribulations of tenant farming—a system in which rent for the land is paid by the farmer with a part of the crop, creating an impossible-to-escape cycle of debt—while also offering a heroic portrait of an anonymous woman.

As a sculptor and printmaker, Catlett blended figurative and abstract traditions with social concerns and maintained a deep belief in the democratic power of printed art to reach a large audience. Her printmaking practice included woodcut, screenprint, lithography, and, most importantly, linoleum cut, which she learned at the Taller de Gráfica Popular (People’s Graphic Workshop) in Mexico City. Founded in 1937, the workshop aimed to continue the Mexican tradition of socially engaged public art. It specialized in linoleum cut, a technique that produces inexpensive prints and can accommodate large editions. Catlett first visited this renowned workshop and artists’ collective while she was in Mexico on a fellowship in 1946, where she found a kinship with the Mexican muralists, including Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. Like them she tried, she explained, to make art “for the people, for the struggling people, to whom only realism is meaningful.”

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (July 17, 1796 - February 22, 1875) was a French landscape painter and printmaker in etching. Corot was the leading painter of the Barbizon school of France in the mid-nineteenth century. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting and his vast output simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism.

A still image from my video art, 'The Very Discrete is Now Visible' vimeo.com/tizzycanucci/verydiscretenowvisible. Now taken from the digital image, and light on screen, and translated into ink on paper, and printmaking. On Hahnemuhle paper using Cranfield Colour inks. Quite different colours and feel.

As with all my printmaking, now available at www.tessbaxter.com/printmaker/

Henri Émile Benoît Matisse;

(31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954)

was a French artist, known for both his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter. Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.

The intense colorism of the works he painted between 1900 and 1905 brought him notoriety as one of the Fauves (wild beasts). Many of his finest works were created in the decade or so after 1906, when he developed a rigorous style that emphasized flattened forms and decorative pattern. In 1917, he relocated to a suburb of Nice on the French Riviera, and the more relaxed style of his work during the 1920s gained him critical acclaim as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting. After 1930, he adopted a bolder simplification of form. When ill health in his final years prevented him from painting, he created an important body of work in the medium of cut paper collage.

His mastery of the expressive language of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.

More wandering around the Cimetière du Montparnasse. This beautiful sculpture, by Arnulfo Domínguez Bello, marks the grave of Julio Ruelas (1870 – 1907). He was from Mexico and a wonderful artist, painter, draughtsman and printmaker. If you don’t know his work, Google him! He died at the age of 38 from tuberculosis.

"There are always flowers for those who want to see them."

-- Henri Matisse (French visual artist, printmaker, painter, and sculptor known for both his use of colour and his fluid & original draughtsmanship)

For the Eye altering alters all;

The Senses roll themselves in fear

And the flat Earth becomes a Ball. - Author: William Blake

William Blake was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his life, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age.

Giorgio Morandi (July 20, 1890 – June 18, 1964) was an Italian painter and printmaker widely known for his subtly muted still-life paintings of ceramic vessels, flowers, and landscapes—their quiet, meditative quality reflecting the artist's rejection of the tumult of modern life.

Little Lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Gave thee life, and bid thee feed,

By the stream and o'er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing, woolly, bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice,

Making all the vales rejoice?

Little Lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee.

He is called by thy name,

For He calls Himself a Lamb.

He is meek, and He is mild;

He became a little child.

I a child, and thou a lamb,

We are called by His name.

Little Lamb, God bless thee!

Little Lamb, God bless thee!

Little Lamb ~ William Blake (1757-1827) English poet, painter and printmaker

Ditlev Blunck (1798-1853) - Portrait of copperplate engraver Carl Edvard Sonne (1826). In the collection of the of Statens Museum for Kunst [National Gallery of Denmark], Copenhagen, shown at the temporary exhibition "The Danish Golden Age ", at the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, February-July 2019.

Carl Edvard Sonne (1804-1878) was a printmaker who dedicated himself to the reproduction of works by other artists, including Blunck, and was in turn portrayed by these artists. He left Copenhagen for Italy in 1828 and lived in Parma and Turin for the next 20 years, first training with Parma printmaker Paolo Toschi and later working in various printing workshops. He returned to Denmark in 1847, dying unmarried in 1878.

Study from a photograph of Lautrec.

Part of my journey as a new printmaker has been to revisit some of my old negatives for re-interpretation as intaglio prints. I made this negative while traveling in Scotland in 2009, we were in Oban at the time discovering the well known single malt whisky by the same name.

This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel Bistre, 55981 Black, and sanguine inks on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 8 numbered prints and 3 A/P prints.

in the Barlachhaus, Jenischpark, Hamburg

Ernst Barlach (2 January 1870 in Wedel – 24 October 1938 in Rostock) was a German expressionist sculptor, printmaker and writer. Although he was a supporter of the war in the years leading to World War I, his participation in the war made him change his position, and he is mostly known for his sculptures protesting against the war. This created many conflicts during the rise of the Nazi Party, when most of his works were confiscated as degenerate art.

Pictures of Kabuki actors, 1919, at the exhibition "Ogata Gekkō and his contemporaries" in Japanmuseum Sieboldhuis Leiden NL. Japanese artist Ogata Gekkō (1859 - 1920) was printmaker during the Meiji period (1868-1912). Kabuki is a classical form of Japanese dance-drama.

Photogravure print from the handmade book " Prague"

A couple of months ago the operators of a building site painted over all the the graffiti that had decorated the temporary wooden hoardings they had erected around the site, which was a shame as there were some very cool pieces (glad I took pics of many of them!). Instead we now had temporary wooden walls painted a dull grey, not exactly enhancing the area...

Of course this didn't last long as the street artists have treated the repainting as essentially giving them a big, new, fresh canvas, so they've been back at work in recent weeks! Some especially cool pieces near the Edinburgh Printmakers gallery.

I printed this with Gamblin Relief Ink and used my new Iron Frog Baren (frog).
