Carlos Fragoso Exhibition
Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts
This event has ended.
Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts presents an exhibition of etchings by Carlos Fragoso, inspired, by the first paragraph of Dickens’s “A Tale of Two Cities”.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.” – Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
“Age of Foolishness” is a set of 15 prints combining the techniques of etching, aquatint and dry point. The prints are made from a single plate, background color first, the lines and aquatints, always in sepia, minutes later. There is neither black nor white in the series. The exhibition will include two recent paintings.
