A Paris-born painter and printmaker, Manuel Robbe was noted for his
experimental approach to printmaking, and during his career created
more than 200 aquatints and drypoints. He was a great technician,
"inventing a technique known as "sugar-life" which gave his prints a
startling subtlety. Robbe's technique was developed over several
phases. He printed his design with a mixture of sugar, India ink
and gum Arabic, on his zinc plate. This was followed by heating
the plate (showing 500 of 3226 characters). |
