Dorsey Potter Tyson (1891 - 1969) was active/lived in New York, Maryland. Dorsey Tyson is known for Art Deco style color prints.Dorsey Potter Tyson was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1891, and died there in 1969. He did color prints from a wide range of oriental sources in the Art Deco style, similar to Elyse Ashe Lord. His color prints appear to be colored etchings, which have been extensively colored by hand, but he used a technique which effectively combines the printing of a normal etching simultaneously with that of printing a monotype. The lines of the etched design, which compose the basic image inked with black ink, and then the surface of the plates cleaned in the manner used for printing a normal monochrome etching. Thick colored printers ink is then painted onto the surface of the plate using a brush as though painting a plate for a monotone print. The proof is then printed at one pull through the press, a very time consuming method of color printmaking.
