G.H. Rothe (1935-2007) is considered a pioneer female artist of the mezzotint and is known as the "Master of Mezzotint". Her work combines technical mastery with vivid imagination. She was compelled to revive mezzotint, which is considered one the most difficult types in printmaking. In 1972, she invented a new technique which allowed to achieve transparency - never before accomplished in mezzotints. Rothe's highly detailed mezzotints focused on graceful dancers, surreal landscapes, and intricately rendered horses. Rothe would always begin her creative process by sketching a simple drawing directly onto the plate with a drypoint tool. She used a rocker to develop the background, rolling and rocking it side to side and piercing the plate with tiny holes for the ink. Using a drypoint tool she further developed the fine details and figures of the drawing. Using elaborate oil dilution techniques, Rothe succeeded in creating an artistic expression which equals that of a painting. Depending on its size, the completion of a plate would usually take weeks and most often months to perfect it. On average, she would spent approximately 500 hours working on each plate. The filigree structures on the surface of the relatively soft copperplate permits only a certain number of print proceedings. Therefore, each edition remains limited to a maximum of 150-200 prints. Rothe expanded the technique's possibilities to achieve transparencies and an extensive variety of tonalities. By discovering a way to mix all colors in the same plate, from the darkest to the lightest, and hand-wiping them into one another, she was able to create highlights, hues, and tones impossible to get when inking each color separately.
