This photogravure of four nude women, after Durer, is like a muted conversation. The lines are delicate, as though whispered onto the paper, creating a scene that feels both intimate and distant. I wonder about the person who made this reproduction, maybe they wanted to capture the essence of Durer's engraving, to pull it into another time. Those fine lines, they required so much care, so much attention to detail. Look at the way the figures huddle together, their bodies turned in on themselves. What are they thinking, what are they saying? Are they bathing? It reminds me how artists are always borrowing, referencing, and reimagining each other’s work, there is something about how the different mediums, painting, and printmaking, speak to one another. In the end, this piece is less about the women themselves and more about the act of seeing, of interpreting, of finding new meaning in old forms.
