A brief history of the artist:

What is a serigraph or silkscreen?

Silkscreening, which was introduced around 1907, presses ink through a fine screen onto paper. A stencil of an image is placed on a taut screen with paper underneath. Ink is then spread on top and forced through the screen onto the paper with a squeegee. Unlike photo-offset, silkscreens (also called serigraphs) allow the artist to vary the colors and patterns while printing. See less
