This “ To a discerning eye “ etching, one of my really early prints I made at Atelier 17 experimenting with textures and shapes and lines to convey depth and space and a 3-D effect, quality, aura

Provenance and detail recording of events help establish where and when and how and by whom, and maybe why, too , certain things were done. Titled : " To a discerning eye " Monday, November 27, 1987 I made this print at Atelier 17 after the first print I made, on zinc plates both, under the direction of William Stanley Hayter that made this drawing of arriving at 3-D on a flat surface.

I wrote sometimes on the back of my etchings done in Paris, France either at Atelier 17 or Atelier 63, and I am so grateful that I did as memory fades and it is easy to get things mixed up and often not accurate. I think this print accomplished the exciting world on land and under the sea so that the two become one and indistinguishable from the other! Anthony Quinn Thursday as I thpe and make this blog on
