Frederick Mershimer
Frederick Mershimer’s cityscapes are inspired by his Brooklyn home. With the mezzotint process he evokes the subtle shadows of the evening or of a recent snow and also the differing textures of concrete and brownstone.
Mershimer is an important contributor to the revival and growing popularity of a 400 year old process once abandoned as too labor intensive.
