About the Item
Signed and numbered from the edition of 30. This is one of four prints in a series of prints based on the sixteenth century engraver Hendrick Goltzius' "The Four Disgracers". The text surrounding the invokes the myth of Tantalus, referrin to contemporary society's abuse of the environment and oil use in disregard for the future:
Those who cannibalize children's future
and expect no consequences , what misery
What agonies of thirst Tantalus suffers
Who would feed his children to the Gods
David Avery continues to explore the expressive and technical possibilities inherent in black and white line etching. His work is included in the collections of the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, the New York Public Library, the Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, the Stanford University Library among others, and has been noted in the New York Times. Even though “black and white doesn’t sell”, he has eschewed the use of color, finding the subtleties and tonalities of black and white most capable of creating the psychological mood that allows his work to be effective.

- "Portrait of a Man" original engraving by Italian Baroque artist CastiglioneBy Giovanni Benedetto CastiglioneLocated in Milwaukee, WIThis is an excellent example of the kind of portraiture produced by Castiglione during the early part of the 17th century. In the image, we see the visage of a man with a mustache, wearing a fur-lined hat topped with a feathery decoration. The image is reminiscent of the work of Rembrandt van Rijn, himself known for his portraits in the form of etchings. 4 x 3.5 inches, image 15.25 x 13.25 inches, frame Inscribed "GC" in the plate, lower left This impression is from the edition ca. 1825 from the original plate of ca. 1635. Unlike many Italian artists, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione was profoundly influenced by foreigners. He first studied with local artists in his native Genoa, absorbing not only Tuscan Mannerism and Caravaggism but also the style of Peter Paul Rubens, who had worked in Genoa. From 1621 Castiglione also worked in Anthony van Dyck's Genoa studio. Early on, he was attracted to Flemish animal...Category
