Internationally renowned artist Hernan Bas has graciously donated thirty new etchings to be sold on behalf of the Contemporary Arts Foundation. All proceeds will benefit the foundation and its exhibitions. Clearly his finest edition to date, A Brief Brush with a Thrush, depicts a recurring motif of Bas’; a young boy in the throes of discovery.
