Come face-to-face with 22 arresting duotone etchings: the most recent ""portraits"" by British artist Glenn Brown. This oversized exhibition catalogue is printed on heavy coated stock and features striking, fullbleed endpapers. On display in 2009 at Karsten Schubert in London, Brown"s etchings were composed over portraiture by Urs Graf, Rembrandt, and Lucien Freud. Engaging with concepts of duplication and appropriation, the complex, beautifully layered portraits are at once recognizable and completely unfamiliar. An essay by John-Paul Stonard, contributing editor of The Burlington Magazine, applauds Brown"s work as a brilliant and bold reaction to the 19th-century tradition of copying the work of the ""Old Masters"" as a learning tool
