BARCELONA.- Shown in the Engraving Exhibition Rooms of the museum is a selection of lithographs by Pablo Picasso developed between 1945 and 1972, when the artist really developed his interest in this printmaking technique. As he usually did when exploring a technique, he used several kinds of plates - stone, zinc, transfer paper - and tried a variety of traditional media - grease pencil, pen, wash -as well as introducing new materials and radically transforming the old established practices of the craft.
Former leading New Zealand publisher and bookseller, and widely experienced judge of both the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Montana New Zealand Book Awards, talks about what he is currently reading, what impresses him and what doesn't, along with chat about the international English language book scene, and links to sites of interest to booklovers.
