Many people don't understand printmaking or know exactly what a print is, Schiller continued. The printmaker does not draw on paper, but on a surface, usually metal or stone, from which the image is printed. The printing process results in many nearly identical images, all of which are considered original works of art. Stylistically, prints can encompass all forms.
Prints can be figurative, landscapes, still life and abstract or non-objective.
Technically, there are various methods used to create prints. There are lithographs, etchings, wood cuts, silk screens and monoprints. All will be seen in the exhibit. Students at BYU and residents of the area will get a chance to see this exhibit at BYU at a later date. The work is split almost equally between student and faculty, including work by BYU's Wayne Kimball, one of the foremost lithographers in the country.
