This combination print by William Kentridge, created using one photogravure and one drypoint with sugarlift, is a beautiful example of Kentridge's skill in printmaking. The imagery is based on the 1903 opera The Nose by Dmitri Shostakovich, which in turn is based on an 1836 short story by Nikolai Gogol. In 2010, Kentridge directed and designed a new production of The Nose for New York's Metropolitan Opera.
Two plates: one photogravure and one drypoint with sugarlift.
16.50 x 23.00 in
