Heralds of Inquiry

Leonard Edmondson

Heralds of Inquiry was created within Edmondson’s first year of working in etching. He sent an impression to the Brooklyn Museum Print National Exhibition where it won an award. In his essay for Leonard Edmondson: Art of Discovery, David Acton wrote of this intaglio: “He used fewer, more transparent colors for this print, manipulating films of ink to suggest imaginary forms floating before a smoky ground… Edmondson’s prints seem to represent a shallow envelope of space in which shapes and forms float, bumping gently into each other, or sliding past in a silent kaleidoscopic ballet.”
