The Impressed Image

Gallery 8 - 'Portraits'

A nice little group of portraits, some of which feature in other galleries or have been exhibited before plus a good many others that I have unearthed for a long overdue airing. Portraiture has a timeless appeal that isn't shared by a lot of topographical etching which unfortunately can become very dated unless it includes something odd and original. Most of the good etchers from the 'golden' period of 1910-1935 were accomplished portraitists in other media, and their etched efforts are often of fellow artists and print 'celebrities' in contrast to their commissioned works in paint which usually depict the great, wealthy and good.
