Tu Fu
A complex web of sinuous, gestural lines intertwines across the surface of this etching and aquatint, reflecting Brice Marden's deep engagement with East Asian calligraphy and poetry. The work, named for the revered 8th-century Chinese poet Tu Fu, channels the lyrical energy of written language into pure abstraction, with flowing marks that seem to carry both weight and rhythm. Printed on Rives BFK paper with full margins, the composition breathes within its generous borders, allowing the delicate network of lines to resonate with quiet contemplative intensity.
