My new love....

Antonio Frasconi.

I've been working on some relief prints for my class and a week or so ago our class went to the Achenbach Gallery at the Legion and I saw a beauty. A beauty by the name of Frasconi. Antonio Frasconi.

It was a color block print of a hanging slab of beef. I know....beef how exciting (not) but if you have ever seen Rembrandt's "The Carcass of Beef" maybe you could understand. So although I can't for the life of me find this specific piece, you're just going to have to trust me....and check out these other prints.
