Leon Kossoff made this etching in 1998. He took ideas from Old Master paintings and turned them into prints. His goal was to study line, not just copy colors. Kossoff kept reworking the print, even after it was done. That’s why many proofs survive. He wanted the lines to feel just right. If you like this, check out Kossoff, Leon next.
