by Ronald L. Ruble (Author)
"The Fine Art print has taken the art world by storm in a relatively short period of time. The Print Renaissance in America is a brief look into this recent rebirth of the medium of printmaking, and its significance within art history. The narrative carries the reader through the historical background of the war years, followed by the rapid development and growth of printmaking in the '50s and '60s, until finally reaching full stride in the "Golden '70s" and beyond. There is also a look at today, and what the future may bring. One chapter also provides informative discussion on collecting art on a limited budget that the novice or professional collector will find of interest. It is an easy and informative read which is both educational and entertaining, and is well illustrated with 176 images and artist biographies, that will provide the reader with hours of viewing pleasure."
