Overview
This captivating visual history of etching celebrates the versatility of the printmaking technique--including aquatint and photoetching--through the work of artists such as Du]rer, Rembrandt, Elisabeth Frink, David Hockney, and Chris Ofili. The diverse uses of etched images over the centuries--in applied craftwork, for political caricature, and to address contemporary issues of cultural diversity and climate change--reveal our shifting perceptions of the medium.
From its sixteenth-century origins to its development as an expressive artistic practice in the twentieth-and twenty-first centuries, etching continues to be an image-making technique of powerful relevance today.
This is the third title in the V&A Printmaking series, following Screenprints and Linocuts.
