Han Shan Exit

Brice Marden's *Han Shan Exit* is an etching with aquatint printed on handmade Twinrocker paper, showcasing the artist's deep engagement with calligraphic gesture and Eastern poetic traditions. The work features Marden's characteristic flowing, intertwined lines that seem to move organically across the surface, evoking the wandering spirit of the Tang Dynasty hermit poet Han Shan. The rich tonal qualities achieved through the aquatint process, combined with the textured handmade paper, lend the composition a meditative depth and material intimacy.
