Trained as a painter at Cooper Union, Clare Romano made her first prints—lithographs—at Robert Blackburn’s Creative Lithographic Workshop in 1949. Her early urban subjects were replaced by landscapes when she left New York City for New Jersey, Truro, and Provincetown, where she and her family lived and spent their summers. In 1958, while in Italy on a Fulbright Grant, she began to use cardboard and paper to build her relief plates, and during a residence in Yugoslavia with the U.S. Information Agency in 1965–66, she perfected the collagraph technique, whereby she collaged materials (cardboard, cloth, found objects) onto the printing plate with a thick gesso or built up form with modeling paste. Romano has introduced generations of students to all aspects of printmaking as a professor at the New School, Pratt Graphics Center, and Pratt Institute, and as co-author with her husband, John Ross, of several important printmaking handbooks. With over fifty one-woman exhibitions to her credit, she is represented in many permanent collections including the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum, Library of Congress and Smithsonian Institute.
Printmaking: Collagraphs/Collage Blocks
A Collagraph print is a collage printmaking technique and is a form of Intaglio printing. The collagraph plate is printed in the same way as etchings, but also include the basic principle of relief printing and can be printed either as intaglio or relief.
The term collagraph refer to a collage board where the materials are assembled on a flat base or plate (matrix) to form a relief block with different surface levels and textures.
Collagraph plates are created by sticking and gluing materials like textured paper or fabric onto the plate and then coat it with varnish or acrylic medium afterwards to protect the materials.
The plate can be made from wood plates or cardboard plates that you build up using different materials.
