2/19/2019 0 Comments Experience: Hollar @ VMFAThe temporary Hollar exhibit was interesting to see, especially after knowing the process behind printmaking from Art 2. The provided magnifying glasses made observing the works easier and overall more enjoyable, making each piece seem like a scavenger hunt. After all, the pieces sometimes were scavenger hunts, with names of towns and numbers inscribed in minute detail. My favorite part was probably trying to translate the german or foreign words from his maps. My favorite parts of his portraits and observation prints were the tiny etchings that made up incredible values to make forms. I could only imagine the amount of time and different glasses he went through to make so many prints so consistently. I for one don't have that much patience and would be overwhelmed. But in the end, I guess I would be very satisfied with the piece. This wasn't an exhibit I knew about and was dying to see, but the experience of walking through the gallery and appreciating all the work he put into his pieces was good, and I got to see it with a friend so that was good, too.
