Carbon Transfer Printing

[Kirk Keyes]

I know I shouldn't, but when I hear the name "Trotsky", my mind turns to the fight song of my old school, Reed College:

Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky
Reed's the team that's really hotsky!

And if that wasn't bad enough:

Hegel, Kant, Marx, Spinoza
Come on Reed, hit 'em in the nosa!

OK - I knew I shouldn't...

As I said... and I know I shouldn't... for obvious reasons, but...

''I have striven not to laugh at human actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them''. The Great Spinoza.

To keep things on topic, the carbon prints by Tod Gangler of Frida Kahlo were made by Nikolas Muray. I believe, but stand corrected if that is not the case, that the current editions are authorized by the daughter of Muray.

For sure, Mexico City in the era of Rivera, Kahlo and Trotsky must have been an interesting place to live.

I'm not going to dive into this myself, but I would love to see the results. Any NYC residents joining in?

As a printer in determining my pricing a couple of factors is time and material cost. I have to wonder how many of Tod's images make it to the circular file before he gets one good enough to sell.

Good luck with the project Sandy!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your encouragement. I made my first test exposures today.

Suffice it to say, I have a long way to go, and the road is not paved!!

Interesting question.

I would guess, and it is only a guess, that Tod's hit rate is fairly high, 50% or higher. He is a meticulous worker and has fantastic control of the process. In fact, because of modern technology his control of color carbon is probably greater than that of any color carbon printer in history.
