HARRY CARMEAN
Take a look at a selection of Harry Carmean's etchings—figurative works shaped by a lifelong study of the old masters. Renaissance, Baroque, and Mannerist ideas move through his interior scenes and nudes, built on a foundation of classical draughtsmanship and a keen eye for the human form and the play of light and dark.
