23. St James the Less, Westminster: by G.E. Street 1964

Editor: So, this is John Piper's print, "23. St James the Less, Westminster." It gives off this intense, almost gritty feeling, and it's hard to tell what materials were used. What's your perspective on how the materials contribute to the overall impact? Curator: The rough, textured quality suggests an exploration of printmaking's industrial roots. Consider how the process itself—likely a lithograph or screenprint— democratizes art production. Editor: Democratizes? How so? Curator: These methods enable wider distribution. Think about how this print contrasts with the traditional, singular art object, and its impact on accessibility and consumption. Editor: I see what you mean. It's less about the preciousness of the image, and more about its availability. Thanks! Curator: Precisely. Examining the means of production reveals its cultural value.
