Printeresting. Online resource

If you want to know everything about interesting printmaking you should visit the Printeresting.

'From “fine art” prints and limited edition multiples to xeroxed flyers and cheap inkjet printouts, we take a broad view of printmaking; all manner of printed matter has a place at Printeresting. Authored by multiple contributors, the site features regular posts on a range of print-related content, including artwork, news, reviews, technology, and critical discourse. While our primary goal is to highlight innovative print work, the site is also a place to keep abreast of developments in the field, and to take note when printmaking intrudes into popular culture.'

Armand Heins

'Armand Heins, etcher, lithographer and printer' exhibition is providing a look to the technical world of an artist. Seventy years after his death, the MIAT is putting Armand Heins back in the spotlight. This artist was a tireless etcher, illustrator and publicist who helped shape early twentieth-century Ghent. Thousands of drawings, lithographs and etchings of countless corners of Ghent and Flanders provide an overview of that era.
