The diverse uses of etched images over the centuries—in applied craftwork, for political caricature, and to address contemporary issues of cultural diversity and climate change—reveal our shifting perceptions of the medium.
From its sixteenth-century origins to its development as an expressive artistic practice in the twentieth-and twenty-first centuries, etching continues to be an image-making technique of powerful relevance today.
