Serigraphy is silk screening. The word serigraphy was coined in the 1930s to differentiate the artistic application of screen printing from the industrial use of the process. "Serigraphy" is a combination word from the Latin word "Seri" (silk) and the Greek word "graphein" (to write or draw). Serigraphs have a longer history, but became popular in modern art. It wasn t until the mid-1930s that the medium s artistic potential was recognized by a group of Works Progress Administration (WPA) artists in the United States. That is when true fine art serigraphy is considered to have been born. ----OTHER SERIGRAPHERS: Serigraphy came into its own in the 1960s with the advent of Pop Art and Op Art. Andy Warhol used the method in his artwork in the 1950s and 1960s. He is generally given credit for popularizing screen printing identified as serigraphy. His famous Marilyn Monroe prints were done using photo silk screening where his screens were prepared using a photographic process. Then different color inks were printed using a rubber squeegee to press the ink onto the paper through the screen. ----CONDITION: The screen lines in the paper are barely visible. There is a very small spot at the upper left of the spire. There is a horizontal fold line about half way between the stone wall and the bottom edge of the sheet. Near fine condition. Z9P10.
