Artist Info: Shoichi Hasegawa, born in Japan in 1929 and now living in Paris, is especially known for his etchings. He created a new style by working his metal plate like a painting, according to the method used by Hayter. This technique involves the simultaneous application of color while drawing. The result is a work with far more depth and volume. His etchings are filled with delicate lines and translucent colors, demonstrating his mastery in both calligraphy and watercolor.
