3. INTRODUCTION
Printmaking, an art form consisting of the production of images,
usually on paper but occasionally on fabric, plastic, or other
support, by various techniques of multiplication, under the
direct supervision of or by the hand of the artist.
Such fine prints, as they are known collectively, are considered
original works of art, even though they can exist in multiples.

Name Elizabeth Catlett
Birth Washington,
D.C,1915
Death Cuernavaca,

7. • The potent writing of Elizabeth Catlett is well known.
• For ourselves and others to understand and appreciate,
Catlett at first when stated that the objective of her
work was to “present black people in their beauty and
self respect.”
• In in addition to providing a brave painting of an
unknown woman, Sharecropper draws attention to the
challenges of land ownership, a structure in which
landowners expect to be paid the land's rent with a
chunk of the crop, leading to an unbroken cycle of
poverty.

10. 2. Anupam Sud
Name Anupam Sud
Birth 1944 in Punjab
Death ____

11. • Bearing surreal and sensual narratives, Anupam Sud experiments to merge
intaglio with lithography and screen-printing.
• Trained at the College of Art, New Delhi, she found her unique style under the
guidance of Somnath Hore.
• Interesting to note, she peculiarly fuses color in the achromatic palette. Pushing
the conventional outlook towards sexuality, Sud’s figures seemingly appear
contemplative and brooding, underplaying a tacit discussion.
• One of the few female Indian printmakers, she has conducted several
international workshops.

artworks depicted realistic scenes compulsively.

Calcutta
• Later, he joined as head of the Graphics department at
Kala Bhawan, Shanti Niketan, Kolkata.

printmaking. Later, he developed a trademark pulp-print
technique which the Wound series represents.
• Pulp-print devised a method of embossing the paper to
develop tangible abstract impressions.
