On View
Not on viewThe writer of a New York Times review remarked that Guérard’s Dead Crow, exhibited at the New York Etching Club in 1892, was a large and bold example of a technique used to create velvety black impressions. The review is one of the few instances where we can chart the reception of European modern art in the United States.
