"Going to School" by Alexey Pakhomov (autolithograph, 1963)

Portrait of Dorset Rena Gardiner Her second book, taking her several years to complete, was only published in an edition of 30, more for friends than wider publication. It is the only survivor of her books that I have, aside from her Dorset trilogy, but the best. She was absolutely remarkable, researching, drawing, then autolithographing direct to zinc plates and printing everything from her cottage press. Later distributing from her cottage until taken up by the National Trust. The genius of self-publishing. If I had to take a book to the Desert Island this would be a contender. #renagardiner #dorset #autolithography #selfpublishing #theworkshoppress https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt5U4Afg9Ri/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o151aaj1twpj

Some pictures from the exhibition of Yuri Vasnetsov’s original autolithographs. Being a fan of Soviet school of book illustration, especially children’s book illustration, Yuri Vasnetsov is a legend for me. I feel so lucky to have a chance to see his original works, many of which I know and love from books and postcards. 

We were shown a film of the process of making lithographs, and I gotta say it’s unreal. So complex! There’s a special flat stone that you have to prepare a certain way and then the artist paints directly on its surface using one color only. The printer makes a print, then the prep, then the artist paints onto the stone using another color and the printer prints it over. The process repeats itself with each additional color used in the artwork. Usually it’s a team that does it, an artist and a printer. And Vasnetsov made it all by himself - hence the name autolithograph. And he has plenty of colors in his works, too! I cannot imagine the amount of hard work that went into each illustration. Wow.

Most of the exhibited works I was familiar with, but there were a few that I’ve never seen before. I will post them separately.

Also, I considered stealing the bear print from the first picture. It would look so good on my wall!

These five are Yuri Vasnetsov’s works that I haven’t seen before. The top one is for “The Hare’s House” fairy tale and it’s my new favourite. But also, Baba Yaga! The fat horsie with big hair for The Humpbacked Horse! (Those two are among his earlier works.) The flower vase was not for a book but a personal work, also an autolithograph.

And finally the bottom one is called “The Hedgehog and the Hare” and it gives me Hedgehog In the Fog vibes for some reason. A very unusual composition for Vasnetsov, and okay—this is my new favourite. Also, it was made 10 years before HitF.

Travellers’ Verse Edward Bawden Bawden’s first book after WW2, commissioned as one of the New Excursions into English Poetry series. Bawden autolithographed this at the Curwen Press, where he had also started work on The Arabs. He found the whole process of lithography bewildering at first and managed to persuade Harold Curwen to come out of retirement to advise him. An attractive book, but in a way a warm up for the Arabs, which is far superior (imo). #edwardbawden #travellersverse #thearabs #curwenpress #haroldcurwen #autolithography https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt2vztagMMP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w9lexysyil76
