The colour is laid on with a bristle brush,
while it is still somewhat moist, by raising
the paper in the course of printing those
parts necessary receive stronger tones, or
when too deep they can be weakened.
When more than one block is used the
same procedure must be gone through. 0
What both artists aim at is to achieve
the finest nuances of tone in their prints.
Indeed their technique lends itself to every
possibility of expression. For instance, by
dry or quite wet porous paper between the
cylinder and the Japan paper, hard draw-
ings or such as are partly clouded by the
water can be worked up to a rare beauty,
or by lighter or heavier pressure of the
cylinder, delicate effects are achieved. The
colouring with the brush allows a transi-
tion of one colour into another, or a
blending of colours, with fine effects in
shading and tonality. 000
In their subjects Leo Frank prefers
landscape ; Hans Frank, although he has
done some charming landscapes, has
specialised in insects and flowers for which
he has gained well-deserved fame. As has
been said their methods are the same.
Each brother has a perfectly balanced
mind, purposeful and intent. They are,
moreover, excellent craftsmen performing
every step of their work themselves. a
