Michael Glier
Men at Home: Entertaining
1985
Direct gravure, aquatint, and drypoint
36 x 24-7/8 inches
Edition: 60
Glier’s Men at Home series of five prints presents men in domestic settings rather than in their usual public worlds. Each print displays Glier’s drawing style, lively, energetic, and somewhat calligraphic in its treatment of details. Glier used the direct gravure technique for these prints, which allowed the artist to fully exercise his freedom of line in intaglio. Glier drew on transparent mylar, and his drawings were transferred to copper plates via traditional photogravure technology. He then added drypoint and aquatint to the plates to deepen and enrich lines and tones.
