Description
This print was created at Atelier 17 in Paris. Primarily a painter and printmaker working in woocut, the production of this plate proved to be a pivotal event in Barooshian's printmaking career, as his interest in color intaglio etching became a primary medium in his work. His depiction of Prometheus remains in keeping with his fascination with Greek mythology, the subconscious, and symbolism.
