THE MAGIC OF PRINTMAKING
Video Series
Writing and Narration by Michiko Okubo
Video creation by Akiko Nakagawa
“The Magic of Printmaking” series comprises six videos, each featuring the work of one artist and his or her unique production process. Why do they go to all that trouble? Why not just paint or draw? Preparing the plate requires planning, creativity and expertise, and then the printing is an art in itself. When you watch these artists at work, you will understand why they are dedicated to printmaking, and why every impression is an original work of art. Enjoy!
