版画在艺术和图像历史中有着独特而重要的地位，而这本引人入胜的书探索了三个世纪以来，艺术家们制作印刷版画的多种方法。

对于包括威廉·霍加斯、乔治·斯塔布斯、威廉·布莱克、J.M.W.透纳、巴勃罗·毕加索、芭芭拉·赫普沃斯、安迪·沃霍尔、卢西安·弗洛伊德、布里奇特·莱利、葆拉·雷戈、威廉·肯特里奇和卡拉·沃克在内的艺术家来说，制作版画是他们艺术创作中很重要且极具实验性的一部分。然而，版画依然是一个略显神秘的主题。这或许是由于原创版画常常被误解为“复制品”，或者被错误地冠上了与素描草稿、文档材料相当的地位。事实上，版画是完成的艺术作品，通常是经过深思熟虑与制作过程中充满创意的试验的成果。这本书为这一主题带来启示，每一章节都围绕着不同类型的版画展开，因而每个部分都可以揭示出艺术家们对不同技法的多种运用方法。

除了一百二十余幅完整的作品复印图之外，书中还附有许多精选的细节图，以便读者近距离观察版画的一些引人注目的视觉效果。插图中的每一幅作品都是被选中来反映多样的版画技法和创作意图的，而这都被清晰而简练地阐释清楚了。书中的作品是泰特美术馆丰富却知名度不高的版画收藏中的精品，还从未有任何著作试图研究过。

Prints have played a unique and important role in the history of art and image, and this engaging book explores the numerous ways artists have embraced printmaking over the course of three centuries.

William Hogarth, George Stubbs, William Blake, J.M.W. Turner, Pablo Picasso, Barbara Hepworth, Andy Warhol, Lucian Freud, Bridget Riley, Paula Rego, William Kentridge and Kara Walker are among the leading artists for whom printmaking has been an important and experimental part of their practice– yet printmaking remains a somewhat mysterious topic. Perhaps this is because original prints are often misunderstood as ‘reproductions’, or wrongly given a similar status to preparatory sketches and archival material. In fact, prints are finished artworks, often the result of highly considered creative experimentation with print processes. This book sheds light on the matter, with chapters structured around different types of printmaking, allowing each section to reveal the various ways artists have engaged with the different techniques.

In addition to complete reproductions of over 120 works, carefully selected details enable the reader to examine closely some of the remarkable visual effects seen in the prints. Each of the works illustrated has been selected to reflect the broad spectrum of techniques and purposes, which are explained in clear and concise terms. The featured artworks are among the highlights of Tate’s extensive but little-known print collection, a remarkable grouping no book has previously attempted to survey.
