Ink-Stained Hands: Graphic Studio Dublin and the Origins of Fine Art Printmaking in Ireland - Hardcover

by Brian Lalor (Author), Colm Toibín (Foreword by)

Ink-Stained Hands fulfils a considerable gap in Irish visual arts publications as the first book to present the activities of printmakers in Ireland from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. The central narrative of this profusely illustrated and documented book is the foundation of Graphic Studio Dublin in 1960, an event which revolutionized the graphic arts in Ireland and made the European tradition of printmaking available to Irish artists.
