Happened across The Lithographs of Stow Wengenroth at the library the other day and I've been poring over the lush black and white prints ever since. There's something very appealing about the texture of a well executed lithograph. I've produced some OK prints, but never was able to create the smooth gray shadings of these. I'm motivated to sign up for another class.

After searching many sites, I located a used copy of the book at Amazon's zshops. They must not update their listings very often, as the first time I paid for a copy a message was returned saying it was now out of stock. I did locate another, more expensive copy, and now I see that I could have bought a new one at the Boston Public Library site. I had just assumed that it was out of print, given that this type of realistic art created during the 40's-70's was out of fashion.
