Altered States

June 30 - December 3, 2017

Historic works by Rembrandt and Callot inspired etchers in 19th-century Paris to experiment with working in states. Callot revised and reprinted images in which he transformed a portrait, into a battle scene, by adding a background showing violent pillaging as seen in this print.
