| Sometimes, after Rose had pulled a
proof, Norman would decide to cut the plate down to strengthen
the image. An example
of this is Merchandise.The first proof of Merchandise had nudes at
the lower right and left of the plate and the elimation of these
additional figures was obviously essential to the successful composition
of the etching. Merchandise was possibly inspired by Don Juan's travels in Turkey.
It has the energetic air of an oriental bazaar, where everything
from slaves to camels is for sale. |
