about Leda and the Swan - 10

"Leda and the Swan - 10" by Reuben Nakian captures the passionate intensity of Greek mythology through masterful lithographic techniques that showcase the artist’s Abstract Expressionist brilliance and emotional depth.

About The Medium: Lithograph

A print created using flat stones or metal plates. The artist creates a lithograph by drawing an image directly onto the printing element using materials like lithograph crayons or special grease pencils. After this, the drawing is transferred from the plate to the paper in multiples. A lithograph will not have dots when examined with a magnifying glass.
