Aquatint: From Its Origins to Goya
Tuesday, December 7, 11:00 am
an online conversation with
curator Rena Hoisington
Only a few spots remain for the Washington Print Club conversation with National Gallery of Art curator Rena Hoisington about the fascinating exhibition, Aquatint: From Its Origins to Goya. This program will be online via Zoom and is open to all. Please be sure to sign up soon so that you don’t miss out.
As stated on the National Gallery’s website, “In the second half of the eighteenth century, the blossoming of a new printmaking technique—aquatint—vastly expanded possibilities for creating and disseminating images across Europe. Aquatints offered the unprecedented means to mimic the gestural brushstrokes and subtle tonal variations of ink, wash (diluted ink), and watercolor drawings. Produced in multiples, aquatints were avidly collected by enthusiasts as a form of visual instruction, an intellectual pursuit, and a social pastime. Typically printed in an array of brown and black inks, these compositions engaged viewers with scenes of faraway places, scientific phenomena, and imaginary visions. The atmosphere of excitement and intrigue around the innovation of aquatint aligned with the Enlightenment period’s preoccupation with discoveries and advances in knowledge. Most of these selected works from the National Gallery’s exceptional collection of early aquatints have never been on public view.”
