Monadnock Ledger-Transcript
Frank Gorga calls the process for making salted-paper prints “deceptively simple.”
The Antrim photographer has used the printmaking style for many years, but its history dates back to the mid-1830s, when English scientist and inventor Henry Fox Talbot created what is now widely considered to be an antique process. Back then, it was the dominant paper-based photographic process for producing prints from negatives but its allure only lasted a couple decades.
“It’s the father of modern, pre-digital photography,” Gorga said.
As a retired chemistry professor who spent the last half of his career at Bridgewater State University, Gorga was drawn to the lost art’s simplicity. Gorga said salted-paper printmaking saw a revitalization in the 1960s and 1970s, right around the time he picked up photography, but his interest in old-fashioned prints really came about when one of his students – an art and chemistry double major – embarked on a small research project around the cyanotype, which produces a cyan-blue print.
