Richard Haas — Manhattan View, Battery Park
Richard Haas

Manhattan View, Battery Park

A sweeping urban panorama captures the iconic Manhattan skyline as seen from Battery Park, rendered with remarkable architectural precision and atmospheric depth. Richard Haas employs the rich tonal possibilities of photo-etching and aquatint to evoke the interplay of light and shadow across the city's towering facades and waterfront. The combination of photographic and hand-worked printmaking techniques on Arches Cover paper lends the composition both documentary clarity and a distinctly romantic, painterly quality.
