In conjunction with the Maine Print Project, print curator David Becker has written this chronological overview of Maine printmaking. Written for a general audience, but equally appealing to art specialists, the variety of styles, subject matter, and technical approach may well provoke viewers to look further.

5.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful, comprehensive, readable,,
By Tim Ronayne (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Imprint of Place: Maine Printmaking 1800-2005 (Hardcover)
David Becker has written a wonderfully comprehensible book about a subject that is very broad. To be able to discuss so well such a variety of printmaking techniques, styles and skills over a long period of time is no easy task. He detects and explains commonalities when that is warranted, but does not stretch the point to fit the title of the book. The book is thoughtful and appreciative but not chauvinistic. It is also readable while being scholarly. The color illustrations are beautiful and true. This is a great book for anyone who cares about printmaking, Art history or Maine.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A large collaborative fine-arts project,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Imprint of Place: Maine Printmaking 1800-2005 (Hardcover)
While THE IMPRINT OF PLACE: MAINE PRINTMAKING 1800-2005 would initially seem to be of very narrow regional interest, in reality it deserves a place in the holdings of any art library collection strong in printmaking representations. It represents a catalog celebrating some 200 years of printmaking with a large collaborative fine-arts project embracing a series of exhibitions and education programs, and as such provides the first chronological survey of the subject, standing as well alone as it does with the exhibit.
