Along the way, the self-portrait developed its own problems. Chagall tried and abandoned nearly a dozen. Finally he achieved what he wanted -a pensive ink-and-crayon study of himself with palette and easel, at a window of his studio, the characteristic colors of his beloved Vence countryside in the background. When Senior Editor Cranston Jones had the cover story and the color pages of Chagall's work ready to go to press and the last points were being checked, the master decided that the experience was "one of the great events of my life."

The three traditional methods of making graphic-arts plates are: scoring smooth copper with a burin for intaglio engraving, carving in wood with a gouge for relief printing, and drawing on stone with grease crayon for lithography. Now, graphic artists print from almost anything almost any way. Sid Hammer, 38, produces his blocks by melting vinyl, as plain as kitchen flooring, with a hot incising iron. "My graphics," says he, "have the sensation of handwriting on a sponge." The handwriting ends up on the wall for less than $100. In Hawaii recently, an art student produced...
