Message from Degas
<p>In 1972, Donn H. Steward saw Degas’s <em>Head of a Woman in Profile</em> at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Captivated by the artist’s use of liquid aquatint— a process where the resin is dissolved in strong alcohol—Steward set out to master the technique. Once he achieved his desired results, he suggested it to Frankenthaler as yet another medium with which to achieve her painterly concerns in print.</p>
