From a quick search of etchings on Google Images, I found this particular one by Anders Zorn really attracted me. The sense of depth in the portrait, with an emphasis on lighting, is masterful. Also, I like the way the artist's lines manage to be so expressive. The chopped, dissonant hatching-- almost scribble like-- brings a dark mood to the artwork. The picture is beyond realism in the sense of photograph perfectness: it captures a scene with an emotional lense.
I like the lighting and the lines too - Cory Mears
ReplyDeleteI like the change in light from right to left it really moves your eye throughout the painting
ReplyDeleteI also like this etching because it is cool, and it must've taken a while to get the face and the shadowing. ~Savannah
