Aquatint

Aquatints are a specialized form of etching that create beautifully textured prints with rich tonal variations. Using acid to bite into a metal plate coated with a fine resin, artists achieve soft gradients and deep contrasts, reminiscent of watercolor or ink washes. This technique has been cherished for centuries for its ability to bring depth and atmosphere to prints. Discover the range of this medium with works by Sol LeWitt, Francesco Clemente, Donald Judd, Julian Schnabel, and Georg Baselitz, among others.
