Illuminated Landscape
Chet Harmon La More
Description
Based on the painting in the exhibition by the same name, this rich etching and aquatint explores the same composition reinterpreted in another medium. The aquatint is used to create a composition of richly nuanced tonalities, maintaining the dream-like setting of the painting, albeit now purely monochromatic.
Label copy from exhibition "Dreamscapes: The Surrealist Impulse," August 22 - October 25, 1998
