Picasso's meninas: three impressions
Richard Hamilton's *Picasso's Meninas: Three Impressions* pays homage to Picasso's celebrated series of reinterpretations of Velázquez's iconic masterpiece, filtering the work through multiple layers of artistic reinvention. Executed in etching with roulette, aquatint, drypoint, and burnishing on Rives BFK paper, Hamilton employs a rich variety of intaglio techniques to explore texture, tone, and line with remarkable complexity. The suite of three prints reflects Hamilton's enduring fascination with the interplay between high art and reproduction, interrogating how meaning shifts across successive acts of translation and interpretation.
