By the way, is very rare for the XX century technique of engraving.
Yes, and his biography is also not devoid of interest ... Member of the KPD, was persecuted by the Nazis. You can write a historical novel. [/QUO

Thank you! Deystvitelnoochen interesting artist and a very good technician incisal prints. And the face is good. I print very close. I was in a section of graphics to 92g and was familiar with Filipovic Gury Zakharov and therefore worked great etchings. Now sorry, we could do a lot of small ones. Were the thoughts and stuff. There is no possibility. Knew Obrosova Igor-he helped me in my time.

Yes, it's all true, but I agree with Amateur, are now very few people can afford to tinker with the cutting engraving. Yes, and the hardness of the hands of extraordinary need. And in our time with such a firm hand to earn more killer than an engraver.
Yes, even etching someone who now dabbles in? Unit, and then strive to do a dry needle, and not fool with etching

Dear experts, Can you please tell the sources from which you can draw anything on the technique of execution of engravings, and generally about the engraving. Is there any information of interest to me, for example, in "History of European engravings XV-XVIII centuries" Kristeller? Looked Western European Engravings of the Museum of Private Collections, still can not move away. First, are the originals that have admired and, second, strike the names, and thirdly, the very design - will not leave anyone indifferent. Wanted to show it is a miracle forum users, but it was impossible to photograph, but do not like cheating, so sought permission to call in the graphics department of the Pushkin Museum in the exhibition organizers. Said that it is expensive, troublesome, it is necessary to conclude a contract, etc. and advised to purchase directory. Began to notice that 'implanting' in the engraving, I would like to know about this not only because of Wikipedia. Something to tell?

Vlasta, here in this thread [/URL]Wladzislaw gives a list of writers on the engraving.

Vlasta, from not named in Wladzislaw and I can recommend
1. MI Flekel from Marcantonio Raimondi to Ostroumova-Lebedeva. Essays on the history and technology of reproduction prints 16-20 cc. MA: Art, 1987.
(Book zamesatelnaya although affects only the region of reproduction prints, here are some very good technical stuff, but the understanding of engraving as an art form is impossible without a good knowledge of the technical side)
2. Kovtun, EF What is printmaking L.: artists. RSFSR, 1963. (The book, of course, purely educational, but I love her very much - it was my first book for which I am familiar with printed graphics, and Eugene F. - a unique identity)
