Description

In s2e26, hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig conclude their conversation about Jacques Callot, where there is always more than meets the eye. He's of interest for many reasons, including his practice of making faster-to-create etchings look like more-time-consuming engravings using his éschoppe. He is the first printmaker in Western art to record the atrocities of war. He heads up any list of artists in the history of prints using them to spread news far and wide about societal ills through visual means. He created some 1,400 prints in his career (no paintings!) and made some of the most remarkable and smallest prints ever. This is the second half of the conversation. If you skipped Platemark s2e25, you might go back and listen to it before starting this one. Episode image: Jacques Callot (French, 1592–1635). Frontispiece from the series The Beggars, c. 1623.
