这段有 Here de Croy sets up a polarity between wood and metal engraving: the former being ‘‘crude’’ and ‘‘mechanical,’’ the latter representative of ‘‘this art so perfect, so difficult, so worthy of encouragement.’’ De Mercey followed suit, noting the ‘‘difficulty’’ and ‘‘length of work’’ involved with copper and steel engraving, as well as etching. Lithography and wood engraving, on the other hand, were ‘‘much less difficult to produce and much less expensive.’’ Although the Romantics, and de Croy himself, championed lithography as a spontaneous, emotive medium that captured the visible traces of the artist’s pencil— metonymic references to the artist’s thoughts and emotions the lithography of the 1840s fell on the side of ‘‘popular’’ art more often than not, as it was primarily used in the press and for low-end prints, with subject matter ranging from political and social caricature to licentious images. |
