Italian Maestro Mario Avati: Reviving the Nuances of Mezzotint

A key figure in rejuvenating the intricate “black way” technique, Avati’s oeuvre is steeped in the art of still life. From the vivid intricacies of fruits and flowers to the evocative forms of animals and musical instruments, his pieces echo with clarity, precision, and defined contours.
