Intaglio à Go-Go: Etching Moves Forward
Intaglio is a family of printmaking processes (etching, engraving, dry point, aquatint, mezzotint) used by artists since the 15th century. These processes are still taught in art schools and faithfully used by artists for the richness of the image produced and the ability to combine processes. This exhibition features a number of Philadelphia area printmakers working in intaglio, as well as some twentieth century Philadelphia printmakers from the collection of the Print and Picture Collection
