Origins and History
Contemporary Figurative Printmaking has its roots in the 1960s, when artists began to experiment with traditional printmaking techniques to create works that were more expressive and emotive. This movement was fueled by an interest in exploring the human form, and many artists focused on creating prints that captured the essence of the human figure in all its complexity. Over the years, Figurative Printmaking has evolved in many different directions, with artists exploring a wide range of styles and techniques to create works that are both beautiful and thought-provoking. Some of the key periods in the history of Figurative Printmaking include the 1970s, when artists like Chuck Close and David Hockney began to experiment with photorealistic techniques.

Notable contemporary Figurative Printmaking
Figurative printmaking is a rich field of contemporary art that highlights the human form. One of the most famous examples is "Self-Portrait with Fried Eggs" by Sarah Lucas, created in 1996. The artwork is a self-portrait of the artist, rendered in a graphic, cartoonish style. The figure is depicted with a cigarette in her mouth and fried eggs covering her breasts, subverting traditional notions of femininity and sexuality.
Another renowned example is "Untitled (Portrait of Ross in L.A.)" by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, created in 1991. The artwork is a series of prints featuring a photograph of the artist’s partner, Ross, who died of AIDS. The prints are meant to be taken and displayed by viewers, highlighting the communal nature of grief and remembrance.
Contemporary printmaker Kara Walker is known for her provocative and challenging depictions of race and gender. Her artwork "African’t" from 1996 is a linocut print featuring a stereotypical caricature of a black woman, with exaggerated features and a headwrap. The print challenges viewers to confront the ways in which black women have been historically objectified and caricatured in popular culture.
Finally, "The Divine Comedy" by Enrique Chagoya is a series of etchings created between 1996 and 1999. The prints use images and text from Dante’s epic poem to comment on contemporary issues such as immigration, globalization, and cultural exchange. The artwork is a testament to the power of printmaking to bring together disparate elements and ideas into a cohesive whole.
