Walter Valentini (1928) - Le misure, il cielo

Walter Valentini, etching and intaglio: Le misure, il cielo, 1992, printed on handmade heavy paper

Walter Valentini (Pergola, October 22, 1928 – Milan, May 20, 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver/printmaker, internationally recognized in the field of graphics and printmaking.

As with the plates, the graphic works are not smooth surfaces either: with a refined drypoint intaglio technique, Valentini presses the paper so that the drawing remains raised above the plane. The subjects of these engravings are the same as those of the plates; only the technique varies: from aquatint to etching to drypoint.
