Spanish artist Alvar for the last 25 years has worked with master printer, Juan Rodriguez, in his atelier, ArtLitho, in the town of Rubi, outside Barcelona. there, Alvar transfers the picture in his mind onto zinc plates, adding the colors successiveluy to the evolving image by using a separate zinc plate for each color. For his recent lithographs, Alvar has used as many as 14 colors. Each lithograph requires its own zinc plate and its own drawing. After the paper is taken through the press, a separate time for each color, Alvar personally inspects each run to ensure his desired results. In his private studio, Alvar hand watercolrs the remark portion of the lithograph. The final step is to hand sign and number each piece. A very good collectible.
