How did printmaking change art?
1 Answer

Printmaking changed art by making it more accessible. Prior to the advent of printmaking, it wasn't possible to reproduce multiples of an image, so art was only available to wealthy individuals who could purchase or commission works. Once artists were able to make prints, they could distribute their work to a wider audience. Shop a large collection of prints from some of the world's top galleries and dealers on 1stDibs.
