Photogravue.com History, process, resources and examples

The Photogravure Repository by Craig Zammiello. Studio manual, very useful photogravure technical info. Craig is the master printer at Two Palms Press in NYC and also pioneered the use of PICCO resin for dustgrain gravure underneath the gelatin.

Photogravure: An Archaelogical Research, Book and DVD by Jan Pettersson 2007 is a book that deals with the essential definition of what the “real photogravure“ is. The question of what the ‘real photograph’ is in relation to photogravure is also a topic that is addressed. One of the goals of this book is to think analytically on different levels about problems within this media. Historical aspects of the media as well as the contemporary context are discussed; examples are put forward to pinpoint and analyze differences. Traditional technical aspects are examined and new technical developments that are grounded in the research are presented.

Photogravures by Peter Miller
Peter Miller is a photogravure artist living in Japan. Check out his wonderful prints and process at his site.

Lothar Osterburg makes photogravures of small, sculpted models of windmills, lighthouses, sailboats among others, staged in evocative settings. Built from memory of readily available materials, the models have a dreamlike quality which is enhanced by the placement of the camera within their world; the perspective is that of a person within the set, obscuring the actual size of the objects. The viewer, drawn into the scene, fills the gap created by the absence of people. The smallest models are photographed through a magnifying glass or with a macro lens. With this extremely short focal range, the scenes become ambiguous, mysterious, or even ominous while somehow retaining the playful quality typical of Osterburg’s hand.

Cannonball Press
Our mission here at Cannonball is a simple recipe:
The Cannonball Print: A down-home dish that is tasty hot or cold. For low-fat version, subsitute another printing press, because these things will put meat on your bones! Preheat idea in Oven of Rock. Make sure color is off! Allow images to gestate and contort at will. When mysterious,funny or twisted, remove and slap on table. Add all ingredients, and beat and cut until smooth and hot. Do not add Fine Art at this point. Add master-printer, work him into a steady boil, edition.Throw Fine Art in trash. Sign and Serve
