engravings are works of exquisite beauty and incomparable intricacy






Composed entirely of lines, engravings are works of exquisite beauty and incomparable intricacy. Northwestern University's Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art will focus on the engraved line from April 9 through June 20 with two exhibitions highlighting the technical virtuosity and innovativeness of European engravers of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. Both exhibitions are free and open to the public. The Block Museum is located at 40 Arts Circle Drive, on the University's Evanston campus.
