etching with amaryllis flowers by printmaker Dirk Hagner
In this intaglio etching two separate pieces of chine collé are used. I very much like words in printmaking as it is by its origin very closely related to movable type, books, broadsheets etc. This piece carries a verse of a poem by French poet François Villon.
