This 1984 print by Leon Kossoff shows a quiet scene of return. Kossoff, a British figurative artist, often drew London life and faces. His prints dig deep into line and mark-making, not color. His etchings weren’t meant to copy Old Masters. Instead, he used them to explore how a line can hold weight or feeling. He reworked plates over and over, chasing the right feel. Kossoff’s prints live at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
