Topic: Aquatint



  
 Aquatint. Beguin.
The term aquatint was coined in London during this period of exile.
The purpose of this technique is to end up with an impression whose values are akin to wash drawings, dot work, or ruled work as opposed to the values obtained in line work.
In the second half of the 19th century, when great innovations were being made in modern printing, aquatint suddenly had an unexpected development.

 Antun Mates - Graphics albums
This outstanding graphic artist did not accidentally choose the graphic discipline of the aquatint, "the most painterlike technique of all" in graphic art, close to the watercolour in which this painter is a superior and unrivalled master.
This top-level professional "lesson" is visible in these remarkable aquatints, the professional ethics is present in the fact that the graphic art by Mates represents a temptation "in spite of the unherolike time".
The six aquatints by Antun Mates, who belongs to the top of the contemporary Croatian graphic art, are a thematically closed cycle of Zagreb themes.
