It's also true that, in the printmaking side of art
(etching, lithography, etc.) there's a long and
respected tradition of an artist having someone else
-- often a younger or less successful artist -- do the
actual printing from the stone/plate/whatever, under
the supervision and advice of the artist who created
the original image (often done commercially in an
Atelier). It's one way that young printmakers get to
make a living while perfecting their skills, and it
allows a successful printmaker to greatly increase
their output of good prints, while still having a
chance to do quality control and whatnot.
