Serigraphy, also known as silk screening, screen printing or serigraph printing, is a stencil-based printing process in which ink is forced through a fine screen onto the paper beneath. Screens were originally made of silk, but they are now made of finely woven polyester or nylon. The screen is stretched over a wood or aluminum frame, then areas of the screen are blocked off with a stencil (a negative of the image). The screen is then placed on top of paper, and ink is placed on the screen.
A rubberbladed squeegee is used to spread the ink evenly across the screen, allowing ink to pass through the open spaces onto the paper below.
A different screen is used for each colour in the print, resulting in a final serigraph with great colour density, colour saturation and texture.
Harry Shoulberg (1903-1995), in 1944 became a member of the National Serigraph Society.
His serigraphs have been exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery, the Library of Congress and the Audubon Society. His serigraphs have won prizes:
The National Serigraph Society;
American Color Print Society.
His serigraphs are in the collection of Smithsonian American Art Museum; Carnegie Museum of Art; The Harwood Museum of Art; National Gallery of Art.
