Answer: The first three volumes were stunning. It wasn’t until a new edition of Volume 2 was to be reset with primitive digital type instead of the traditional metal type of the earlier editions that there was a problem. Horrified by the inferior results, Knuth took it upon himself to improve things. After all, digital type was software, right? Determined to develop a solution, Knuth stopped work on his books and devoted himself to typography for the next 10 years. The result: The TeX typesetting system and the Metafont font description language. The combination of the two offered powerful typographic control that hasn’t been matched (even today), especially for complex typesetting like mathematical formulas.
What are some of the ways the drawing, painting and printmaking techniques differ in their history and development?
The drawing emerged with the need of man to portray a situation on a surface through points, lines and shapes. Over time, the drawing becomes an artistic technique that can also be the result of an artist's work, where a smooth surface is marked, with a pencil or pen, in connected lines and dots that result in the creation of an image , a flat and two-dimensional shape.
The painting, in turn, presented itself as an elitist form of plastic art, which differs from the drawing by the use of liquid or pasty pigments (paints), which adds to the work textures, hues, tones and depth. It is a technique that also aims to represent something, however, painting generally has a more intense meaning and requires more techniques to be executed. In other words, drawing is representation through lines, while painting is representation through colors.
Printmaking, in turn, differs from drawing and painting (using smooth surfaces) in that it uses hard surfaces to represent something. Printmaking is a set of techniques that uses materials such as medeira, stone, bricks and metals as the main exhibition vehicle. It does not usually express itself through colors or lines, but it presents itself as a more aggressive form of art, expressing itself through corrosions, incisions, cuts and gashes.
