Directly from these hand-drawn Mylar surfaces, metal plates are created by transference. A separate surface is drawn, by hand, for each color to be in the finished print. The artist, or a skilled chromist under the artist’s direction, carefully hand-draws the design onto a Mylar surface. The lithographs produced by this method are of the finest quality, using techniques that are so labor and time-intensive that very few master printers know how to operate and care for these presses today. *atelier: the private workshop or studio of a professional artist in which a principal master and a number of assistants, students, and apprentices can work together producing fine art or visual art released under the master’s name or supervision. These antique flatbed presses are the same machines used in the legendary 19th- and early 20th-century ateliers* of Paris to produce the original works of lithographic fine art by great masters such as Alphonse Mucha, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Henri Mattisse, Alexander Calder, and many more. These MUTTS lithographs were crafted with handmade paper at the renowned S² Art Group, one image at a time, on a rare, century-old Marinoni Voirin press (seven of which are known to exist in the world today). We are pleased to announce that we have added two limited-edition, fine art lithographs to the MUTTS Shop - the first of their kind in our online store.
