Nathan Oliveira came to the monotype technique after discovering the accidental images transferred to the protective sheets that wrapped his canvases. He soon became an advocate for the printing technique and throughout his career collaborated with a number of artists. He invited Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn to print monotypes with him at Stanford University in 1977 and printed a number of Thiebaud’s monotypes including a number in this sale. Thiebaud has referred to the monotype process as the “backside of the brushstroke” and has produced them throughout his career.
