"Cut, Bitten, and Scratched: The Persistent Art of Printmaking"
Thomas E. Rassieur, John E. Andrus III Curator of Prints and Drawings, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis
Friday, November 2, 2018 -
6:00 PMto 7:00 PM
Like many of his predecessors, Goya exploited printmaking’s unusual quality of being public and private at the same time—optimal for testing novel and sometimes dangerous ideas. Like the best of his forebears, Goya reveled in the physicality of printmaking, attacking copper and stone with sharp tools and acid and caressing them with brushes and soft crayons. In this talk, Tom Rassieur explores printmaking through the work of Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, Picasso, Jasper Johns, and,of course, Goya.
