Collotype is a printing process invented in the mid-19th century famous for producing extremely fine detail and rich tonal gradation, using photograph negatives to create printing plates. Widely used for art books, postcards, and fine art reproductions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, today collotype is commercially uncommon, but still practiced by a few master printers. Collotype prints are admired by photographers, printmakers, and collectors for its unmatched subtlety.
Poet, philosopher, mystic, no artist of the century appreciated the medium of lithography so well as Redon. He approached the stone with awe, causing it to yield qualities unsuspected by most artists. In his writings he spoke constantly of "the rich velvety blacks" which set off his figures and profiles. Pale, unworldly, haunting faces gaze out at us from deepest night. Profil De Lumiére, once seen, is not to be forgotten.
