  1. I enjoyed reading “Storytelling in Gropper’s Late Etchings”. I thought it was interesting how he used his prints to tell stories of political satire. From his series of “Twelve Etchings”, one of his works “Fantasy” was really interesting. It reminds me of Surrealism and a dream like state of presenting his fantasy idea. Even though it represents “stupidity and irrationality” it could have some form of symbolism in this piece. I thought his pieces talked about in this article were good, but this piece caught my eye the most. Also, it is interesting how all his prints looked more like sketching than prints, but I like the style of them.

  2. I think that printmaking is not dead. There may be different ways of developing a print with the advanced technology we have now days but printmaking is still alive. Today printmaking is used on different types of media, such as t-shirts or advertising. Even though it may not be the old traditional stamp type of printmaking, it still exists today.
