This book celebrates master printer Kenneth Tyler's creative collaboration with key artists of the post-war American art scene. It reproduces works in the National Gallery's collection of editioned original prints, screens, paper works, illustrated books and multiples, along with rare and unique proofs and drawings from the Tyler workshop. Artists such as Josef Albers, Helen Frankenthaler, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg and Frank Stella produced some of their finest works with Tyler, in an atmosphere where collaboration engaged heart and mind, inspired innovation, response, and reaction, and the printer shaped his approach to each particular artist's needs

Focusing on the vital role of literature in the development of the artistic practice of Frank Stella (b. 1936), this insightful book looks at four transformative series of prints made between 1984 and 1999. Each of these series is named after a literary work--the Had Gadya (a playful song traditionally sung at the end of the Passover Seder), Italian Folktales, compiled by Italo Calvino, Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, and The Dictionary of Imaginary Places by Alberto Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi. This investigation offers a critical new perspective on Stella: an examination of his interdisciplinary process, literary approach, and interest in the lessons of art history as crucial factors for his artistic development as a printmaker. Mitra Abbaspour, Calvin Brown, and Erica Cooke examine how Stella's dynamic engagement with literature paralleled the artist's experimentation with unconventional printmaking techniques and engendered new ways of representing spatial depth to unleash the narrative potential of abstract forms.

Ellsworth Kelly, a distinguished contemporary American artist, is one of the great talents of his generation. His work, with its array of flat, sharp-edged forms and unmodulated color, figures significantly in the history of nongestural abstraction-a hybrid of the geometric and biomorphic traditions.

"Paper Pools is the most recent major group of works by David Hockney, demonstrating his fascination with new techniques in the service of his passionate pursuit of creative representation. In 1976, Hockney had become obsessed with the technique of coloured etching, which he had been taught by the French print-maker Aldo Crommelynck and which resulted in the Blue Guitar series, among other inventive works. Now Hockney has applied himself with infectious enthusiasm to the making of Paper Pools, in which painting and paper-making are totally fused." --preface.
