Insight on one process used for
producing an etching based
on a series of monotypes

by Daniel Maidman and Peri Schwartz

rtist Peri Schwartz has worked for several years on
A distinctive still lifes of colored liquids in glass
containers. She recently collaborated with master
printmaker Greg Burnet to create one such composition
as an etching, Bottles and Jars III, which has since been
acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

In this article, we will discuss two topics:
1. e process through which she produced the etching.

2. e etching itself as an art object.

As we develop as artists, it is important to remember
that, while we work hard to acquire techniques, our goal
is not to know techniques. It is to make interesting art.

Several unusual terms appear in the article. e rst

time each one appears, it is underlined. is indicates that
it appears in the glossary of terms at the end of the article.
