William Kentridge's "General" is a large scale drypoint and etching created between 1993 and 1998, executed as a printer's proof outside the edition of 15 and printed by Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop in Wiltshire. The work demonstrates Kentridge's characteristic engagement with printmaking technique, employing tonal effects to create a complex, layered image on substantial wove paper measuring nearly five feet in height. Published by David Krut Fine Art, this impression exemplifies the South African artist's continued exploration of historical and political themes through the medium of intaglio printing.
