~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LANDSCAPE
PRINTS | Until 29 May |
East Gallery
|
In this exhibition we
find landscapes from the permanent
collection, made from different printmaking techniques such as etching, linocut,
silkscreen and lithography. The word landscape derives from the Dutch landschap, originally
meaning a patch of cultivated ground, which later came to mean an image. The
word entered the English
language at the beginning of
the 17th century, purely as a term for works of art. “Landscape art” is a term that covers the depiction of natural
scenery with its elements arranged into a coherent composition.
