Emily McVarish Felicity . Edition of 50.
Contemporary artists use all printing processes for their work.
During the 1970's there was a resurgence of interest in letterpress printing, and at the same time artists produced editions in greater quantities with offset printing, often experimenting with the processes of color separation and platemaking. Syl Lebrot's Pleaure Beach is an example of a book in which the artist created the images in the act of making the separations by hand. Today,with computer imaging systems, it is much easier for artists to create compound images, and to either generate color separations directly from the computer, print the book on a color printer, or publish the work directly from the computer onto the World Wide Web.
