For Nasson College 1970

Rudy Pozzatti made this print, 'For Nasson College', using graphic lines carved into what I imagine was a block of wood. The stark contrast between black and white creates a dramatic stage, as if we're peering into a shadowy theater. I love how the texture comes alive, especially on the lion's mane; you can almost feel the scratch of the tool, digging and defining each strand. Look at the phrase 'VERITE SANS PEUR'—truth without fear—boldly placed as if it’s the title of the whole play. This print feels like a conversation with artists like Dürer, who also played with the graphic power of black and white, proving art is an ongoing remix of ideas, fears, and, of course, truths. It embraces multiple stories, inviting us to bring our own interpretations to the stage.
