VCP Book of the Week | The Printed Picutre by Richard Benson

Book of the Week | Episode 4: The Printed Picture by Richard Benson In this episode of Book of the Week, photographer and VCP member Luke Strosnider introduces us to Richard Benson’s The Printed Picture—a fascinating journey through the history of printed images. Originally developed from a landmark exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 2008, The Printed Picture traces the evolution of image-making across six centuries, from woodcuts and engravings to photogravure, halftone printing, offset lithography, and digital processes. Benson, a master printer and former Dean of the Yale School of Art, combines technical expertise with a passion for craft, offering a rare insider’s look at how images have been reproduced, circulated, and consumed throughout history. Luke highlights why this book is essential not only for photographers but for anyone interested in the broader story of visual culture. By demystifying printing technologies and showing their role in shaping art, communication, and knowledge, The Printed Picture becomes more than a technical manual—it’s a testament to the enduring power of pictures in human life. ✨ Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel so you don’t miss future episodes of Book of the Week!
