I've been printmaking for many years and have spent the last 2 concentrating on Linocuts with a portrait included in the Royal Society of Portrait Painters 2012 exhibition. I understood 'burnishing' to be an etching term for the act of rubbing the plate to join the dots mainly to create a halftone. My linocuts are hand printed without a press and unbeknownst to me I've been "hand burnishing" them all the while in the traditional way! Terminology can be a devil but I'm always interested in process and hearing the term used in relation to Lino I was intrigued.

'Defeat' reminds me in some ways of Ilya Repin's paintings (I think it's barge haulers), along with Sargent's Gassed piece. Very impressive indeed.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909161522406304080noreply@blogger.com
