ABOUT THE REThe Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE) is Britain's longest established elected body of professional artists who make prints. Its on-going purpose is to promote and encourage the highest standards of creative and technical excellence in printmaking in all its diverse forms. Founded in 1880 by Sir Francis Seymour Haden, it was originally titled the Society of Painter Etchers and established to counter the Royal Academy of Artsʼ refusal, at that time, to recognise printmaking as a creative rather than reproductive art.
The RE holds regular exhibitions of Membersʼ prints at Bankside Gallery, London and other venues, showing traditional skills - etching, lithography, wood engraving and mezzotint - alongside the latest digital, photographic and mixed media techniques. Its 200-strong membership includes artists from all over the world including the USA, Japan, Argentina and Europe.
