DescriptionBrown landscape image at top left with three additional rectangles on sheet that have blue cloud pattern.Text Entries
The print is collotype with monotype in two colors (brown and blue), printed on Arches 88 paper, bon a tirer, in an edition of 10 with 2 printer’s proofs and 2 artist’s proofs (11 Roman-numbered editions). Printed by the artist in collaboration with Mark Klett, Jan Mehn, and Joseph Segura. The collotype project includes Landscape with Cloud Variations 1-5, made during Hahn’s residency at Arizona State University in 1986.
Known for her playful and irreverent approach to photography, Betty Hahn again plays with the conventions of the art world in this image from the series “Landscape with Cloud Variations.” Her landscape is small, rather than filling the whole page, but her sky is large and impressionistic, fully surrounding the landscape at times. She has also collaborated with another photographer and two printmakers to create this piece, instead of claiming sole authorship.
