| Summary: | Lynn Shaler is an American artist known for her color aquatint etchings. Many of them are inspired by locations in Paris, where she has been living for over thirty years. Shaler's work has evolved in both subject matter and technique since her early depictions of objects such as doorknobs, clocks, theater exits, stacks of plates or shoes. Today, many of her etchings, for which she usually prepares and prints four plates, show complex interiors, such as an intimate library, an open doorway leading to a courtyard, a balcony or a beautifully lit staircase. Every single sheet Shaler prints meticulously and then embellishes it with hand coloring, using watercolor, gouache or pastel. This first monograph on Lynn Shaler's prints features some 240 of her works in full color images. |
