What materials did Frank Stella use to create his lithographs?
To create his lithographs, Frank Stella used a variety of materials. Many of his prints began with collages made of enamel paint, etched magnesium, aluminum and fiberglass. Then, he would transfer the image to a lithograph stone and apply it to paper. For many lithographs, he also employed screen printing techniques to create a layered effect.
