Direct gravure, aquatint, drypoint
Glier’s Men at Home series of five prints present 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 in order to deepen and enrich lines and tones.
