Relief - All printing processes in which the non-printing areas of the block or plate are carved, engraved or etched away. The term was devised to describe lithography.
Planographic - The process to print impressions from a smooth surface rather than creating incised or relief areas on the plate. The reverse of this process is known as relief printing. The ink is then transferred onto the paper through an etching press. Plates are inked only in the etched depressions on the plates and then the plate surface is wiped clean. At least one of these maquettes was the in the private collection of Nelson Rockefeller.Intaglio - The process of incising a design beneath the surface of a metal or stone. Like other artists’ maquettes, sometimes the models show a work in progress.įor instance, when viewed together, the maquettes of Chadwick’s Inner Eye, a massive iron sculpture more than six feet tall, show the evolution of the piece over time, as Chadwick added new elements to each one. For practical purposes, Chadwick made several small versions of his pieces prior to the finished sculptures. For instance, sculptor Lynn Chadwick worked in iron and bronze, two materials that can be difficult to shape and expensive to use in large quantities. Sometimes the maquette of a finished work becomes a work of art in its own right. Sculptor and architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini used wax and baked terra cotta to create his small versions, which were the subject of a 2012 exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The exhibit looked at the processes behind Bernini’s famous sculptures, and found that the practice works were often significantly different from the finished sculptures. Some artists are known as much for their small versions as they are for their finished sculpted works. In Italian, maquettes are known as bozzetti, which translates to “sketch.” The museum describes its collection of maquettes, or bozzetti as the unique stories of the creative process that leads to a completed sculpture. There are several museums that have collections of maquettes, including the Museo dei Bozzetti in Italy. And it’s not just sculptors who use them as display tools maquettes are also built by architecture students, as they try to depict their projects pre-construction.
Maquettes are often used for competitions and exhibitions as well, when building a full-scale model is impractical or impossible. Maquette for robot sculpture by Jeff Buccacio It also saves money on materials, rather than build something large and expensive for a client. If a particularly large or expensive sculpture is planned, using a maquette can help show how a piece will fit into its potential display space, and allow the person or group commissioning the work to get a three-dimensional glimpse of what they’re paying for. The practical uses of maquettes are most apparent when a commissioned work of sculpture is involved. Painters frequently use similar pre-work modeling, in the form of sketches a maquette is the three-dimensional version.
A maquette is not only a way for the artist to realize his or her vision for the finished work, but can help save money on materials and production time. The small model may be made from paper, clay or wax or other material in order to provide a visualization of what the actual sculpture or project would look like when fabricated or built. Its use in English is somewhat outdated, but artists and architects may use the word to differentiate from other kinds of “models,” such as a person who poses for a portrait. HOW MAQUETTES HELP VISUALIZE Scale models help visualize a piece of art before its completion.Ī maquette is a fine art term and refers to a small mock-up of a fully realized three-dimensional sculpture or architectural project.
