Horses 

Henryk Glicenstein's Horses is a print created using the etching process, where lines are incised into a metal plate with acid, then inked and pressed onto paper. The etching technique allows for fine, detailed lines, capturing the energy and movement of the horses with precision. The process involves layering lines to create depth and shadow. Glicenstein’s printmaking engages with a tradition going back centuries, yet here, it is put to the service of a modern sensibility, influenced by Expressionism, and the dynamism of modern life. The act of etching is labor-intensive, demanding skill and patience. The artist's hand is evident in every line, reflecting a direct connection between the artist and the artwork. This focus on process invites us to see value in the work of the hand, as much as in the image itself. By emphasizing materials, process, and context, we can fully appreciate the significance of the artwork and move beyond traditional distinctions between fine art and craft.
