Seeing the Alhambra in Granada was an extraordinary experience for me. It was the first time that I understood painting as something other than an object hanging on a wall.

Yale came to me and said there isn't an overarching book about the history of printmaking; they wanted it to be about the printed image.

So that was my challenge.
