When I originally became interested in Jeff Koons’ work I was intrigued by his attitude towards art and I found I could relate to a lot of his ideas. I decided that for my final intaglio assignment of copying a work of art, I would try to depict Warhol’s influence on Koons’ work. I decided to base my print off of Jeff Koons’ “Hand on Breast” from his “Made in Heaven” series, with “Rabbit” serving as a backdrop. I felt the image would equate the idea of influence to intimacy. I used two plates for the print. One holds “Rabbit” the other a contour line drawing. Both plates were etched with hard ground for the line work. The “Rabbit” plate was aquatinted and chin-colle was used to attach the yellow tissue paper to the second plate.

Finally got around to saturating myself with Jeff Koons’ work. So far I’m loving every bit of it. The library should be expecting me soon.
