Kathan Brown, founding director of Crown Point
Press, has had a uniquely inspirational
career working with world-renowned artists, and with this book she shares some of the Magical Secrets she has
learned along the way.
Magical secrets are sudden flashes of insight that help you make sense of something you care about. If you care about etching, engraving, and drypoint (a form of engraving), you will find revelations here.
In this book, the third in the Magical Secrets series about etchings, Emily York discusses 46 aquatints by 32 artists, with special attention to fascinating sequential works by Richard Diebenkorn and Al Held.
