Stanley Jones and the Curwen Studio by Stanley Jones
Stanley Jones is one of the pioneers of artist printmaker practice, and this book details the story of The Curwen Studio, which created the first environment in the UK in which artists had the freedom to work in printmaking. The Curwen Studio enjoys an outstanding international reputation.
'this is a thoughtful and accessible story of a remarkable man, in which we learn how artists have increasingly come to value the creative potential of printmaking' Prinit Making Today, Spring 2011
A world-famous stone and plate lithographer, Stanley Jones' whole life has been devoted to printmaking. He lectured in lithography at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, and has worked at the Ecole de Beaux Arts and Atelier Patris in Paris, where he worked with artists including Giacometti, Le Moal, Sugaii, Severini and Soulages. He helped set up The Curwen Studio (one of the first 'open-access' studios available for artists with help from an on-site, technically-expert printmaker), which since 1958 has enabled artists to explore the medium of lithography. Until recently Stanley Jones has been President of the Printmakers' Council, and he continues to pursue his own career as an artist. His lithographs and paintings are held in both public and private collections all around the world.
