This original photogravure of a single hydrangea bloom is NOT a mass produced giclée print! This print is personally hand inked and printed on high quality Somerset Velvet 100% cotton paper by Herman du Toit in a limited edition of 50 prints. Each print carries the artist’s signature and the studio chop mark. Each print also comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity. You can attach this certificate at the back of the print once it is framed. This print exudes a spirit of peace and quietude that this small website reproduction just does not convey. It is a very fine example of tenebrism (the evocative use of light and shadow) and exemplifies the rich velvety black tones and the wide tonal range unique to the photogravure medium. According to the J. Paul Getty Museum, “photogravure is the most beautiful, challenging, and labor intensive of the traditional photographic processes; it is also among the earliest, dating back to the mid-1800s.” Collecting photogravures is an emerging category of investment in alternative photographic processes. Edward S. Curtis’ epic anthropological study “The North American Indian,” which he printed from 1907-1930, now command prices in the hundreds of thousands for individual prints. Contemporary prints can be had for far less―if you are lucky enough to find one! The print ships in a white archival mount, 20.5 x 14.5 inches, ready for framing in a white or black frame of your choice. Enjoy!

He first studied printmaking under the British printmaker Michael Taylor at the former University of Natal in South Africa in the 1970s.

Later he served as director (dean) of the School of Fine Arts at the Durban University of Technology. On immigrating to the United States in 1993, Du Toit curated exhibitions and served as head of education and research for an extended period at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art.
