Artists in conversation

Käthe Kollwitz
German · b. 1867

Kollwitz mastered expressive engraving and drypoint printmaking with deeply emotional monochrome works that channel memory, suffering, and psychological weight onto paper. Her technically refined intaglio prints share the same intimate, expressive figurative quality found in Bourgeois's storm composition.
Mauricio Lasansky
Argentine · b. 1914
Lasansky was a mid century master of intaglio printmaking who pushed engraving and drypoint to emotionally charged expressive extremes, creating monochrome works dense with psychological and narrative tension. His technical command of multiple printmaking states closely parallels Bourgeois's methodical refinement across eight states in this work.

Stanley William Hayter
British · b. 1901

Hayter founded Atelier 17, where Bourgeois herself trained, and developed a modern expressive approach to engraving and drypoint that merged technical mastery with poetic, atmospheric imagery. His mid century intaglio prints on smooth wove paper share the same formal and emotional sensibility as this specific landscape infused work.
