I last wrote about graphic art techniques, specifically the intaglio print process known as drypoint. Rembrandt used the intaglio printing processes of drypoint as well as etching. Another method to reproduce artists work that became popular later was silk screen printing or serigraphy.
Silk Screening
This method developed in the United States was used by Andy Warhol, a successful graphic designer. Warhol who was known for his hard-edged graphic style perfected the silk screening process. Warhol attached a stencil to a screen of silk stretched on a frame. Ink was pushed through the stencil with a squeegee. The result was a flat and unshaded image.
Andy Warhol often referred to as the “Pop Star” of the art world perfected the silk screening technique and it became his trademark. The photo silk screen allowed Warhol to create work that he believed did not allow for manipulation.
