Surrealist Printmaking

Definition of Surrealist Printmaking as it relates to Art, Contemporary Art, Printmaking

PostImpressionist Printmaking refers to a style of printmaking that emerged in the late 19th century, characterized by the use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes. This style was influenced by the Post-Impressionist movement in painting, which sought to move beyond the naturalistic depiction of Impressionism towards a more subjective and symbolic approach. In printmaking, this often manifested as an emphasis on texture, pattern, and the use of unconventional techniques such as lithography, woodcut, and etching. Post-Impressionist printmakers aimed to create works that were not only visually striking, but also emotionally evocative and intellectually engaging.
