for axd dors) ay, o07.26/343 seven convolutions original lithegrophs by herbert bayer apl s Lithographs are prints taken from stones on which drawings have been made with lithograph crayons, tusche, or ink containing grease. Crayons, tusche and ink are black, but the prints can be made any color in printing by the use of colored inks. When lithographs are to be printed in more than one color, more than one stone must be used. The "Convolutions" are two-color lithographs; two stones were uscd in their making, one for the black which carries the dark masses, shapes, and lines, and one for the color which carries the tones and the high lights. It is not necessary to use regular lithograph crayons to make drawings on stones for lithographs. Any substance containing grease will do. The ink used for printing lithographs can be used also for drawing on the stone. The inking roller, used to roll up stones for printing, may serve to apply ink to the entire surface of a stone to obtain an all-over middle tone. Such a tone brings out the rich texture of the grained surface of lithograph stones. This technique, using the inking roller to apply a thin coating of ink to the stone prior to drawing on it, is useful when an artist wishes to draw darker shapes into a middle bone-to delincate shadows and outlines-or to scrape out middle tones to obtain high lights. In the "Seven Convolutioes" series of two-color lithographs, all of the first stones, which were the key stones, were printed in black. Some were drawn with lithograph crayons; some were drawn with a brush and tusche which is similar to crayon in liquid form,. The second stones were made to print the middle tones and high lights. In cach subject the middle tone was printed in the appropriate color accord- ing to the artist's conception of the design. Herbert Bayer wanted the lithographs to be drawn on stone in a direct manner so that the quality and texture of the stones would not be destroyed. He was apathetic to the harsh effect that is so often the result of scraping and scratching out high lights. Therefore, it was necessary to discover a new medium for drawing on stone before the color stones could be made. The solution to our problem was simple although it required practice to perfect the technique: on the second stones, which were printed in color, the artist drew the high lights with chalk, and immediately turned them over to the printer who inked the printing roller lightly with black lithograph ink and used it to lay a thin film of ink on the entire surface of the stones, except those parts of the stones which were protected by the chalk and were to be the high lights. Thus, for each subject two stones were drawn upon and prepared for printing-one with black ink, the other with colored ink. In 1797 Alois Senefelder, a German, invented a process of printing which he called "Lithography," meaning "to draw on stone." Until that time all printing was done from plates or blocks of wood or metal having either raised lines or surfaces such as the raised surfaces of type from which books are printed, or from plates with incised lines such as engravings and etchings In lithography, stones from which prints are made have neither raised nor incised lines. Lithography is posible because of the antipathy of grease and water each for the other. The drawing on stone is made with greasy crayon or ink and the stone is printed with greasy ink. The stone is kept moist during printing so that only the drawing, or areas which were greased, receive ink. Thus, the ink from the inking roller is transferred again to the paper when the impression is made. Lithographs are printed by a special kind of hand press.
