Keith, Mezzotint
Keith, MezzotintThis was the first print that Close made as an established artist, and it is now considered to be a major work in American printmaking. The technique that he chose to use, mezzotint, is a very time-consuming medium that was most popular during the 18th century portraiture. In mezzotint, the final products were on average small, 3 x 4 inches.
