62 then later founded Petersberg Press, a name synonymous with many of Hockney' s prints from the 70's and 80's. Hockney also worked for many years with Ken Tyler from Gemini and then Tyler Graphics in the States and the Belgium master printmaker Aldo Crommelynk. Aldo Crommelynk also established a second print workshop in New York with Pace Prints and had a close relationship with Jim Dine, who said of him: "He taught me everything I know about etching", and with whom he collaborated on more than 100 prints. Jim Dine is best known for monumental images of bathrobes, tools, and hearts that became icons of Pop Art during the 1960s and 70s, Jim Dine remains one of the most inventive and prolific printmakers. Intensely physical in execution, Dine's prints celebrate the artist's touch. He supplements his energetic, full-body strokes not only by hand colouring but also by collaging with non-traditional media. He may also subtract, scratching or even gouging his surfaces, sometimes with power tools. The results show his great joy in working with the thick paper and rich inks and colours, or in the artist's words, his love for "leaving my tracks." Contemporary generations continue to push the boundaries of what is possible to produce in print. With the advent of numerous advances in digital technology, lithography, screenprint, photocopying, intaglio, and techniques too plentiful to list - and perhaps even challenging the very definition of an original print- great print makers still excel in their craft and their artistic production. David Hockney is key amongst British artists in this medium of print. He has always been, and continues to be, at the forefront of print making, subverting and extending the realms of what is defined as a print, publishing prints in newspapers, creating works using a fax machine, Polariods, photocopier and in the last decade the now renowned ipad drawings. Hockney's print career began in 1954 when he discovered the printmaking department at the Royal College. Over the decades he has worked with many of the master printmakers beginning with Paul Cornwall-Jones of Editions Alecto who offered Hockney whilst still a student, the unheard of sum of £ 5,000 to publish a 'Rake's Progress' in an edition of 50.
