Who is a famous lithographer?
1 Answer

There are many famous lithographers. One was Alois Senefelder. Sometimes called the “Father of Lithography,” he accidentally discovered the printmaking technique in 1796 when trying to find a new way to make copies of his plays. His discovery eventually led to the use of lithography to produce artwork. During the 18th century, artists who experimented with the technique included Honoré Daumier and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
Lithography became an even more popular art form during the 20th century when it was used by artists like Alphonse Mucha, Marc Chagall, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Diego Rivera and Käthe Kollwitz.
