prints
Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use the simple term "prints." With regard to photographs, prefer "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."

abstract
Genre of visual arts in which figurative subjects or other forms are simplified or changed in their representation so that they do not portray a recognizable person, object, thing, etc.; may reference an idea, quality, or state rather than a concrete object. For the process of formulating general concepts by abstracting common properties of instances, prefer "abstraction." For 20th-century art styles that were a reaction against the traditional European conception of art as the imitation of nature, use "Abstract (fine arts style)."

etchings
Prints made from an etched printing plate, which is a metal plate on which a design is made by coating the plate with an acid-resistant substance, creating a design in the coating, and then exposing the plate to acid, which etches the plate where the metal is exposed. For designs incised directly into a copper plate using a burin or graver, use "engravings (prints)."

Connecticut artists

human figures
Depictions that are specifically and primarily of the human form.

hands
Parts of a human's or an animal's body, usually having fingers, located below the wrist joint of the arms, characterized by being routinely used for purposes other than support and locomotion. For the truncating components of legs, use "feet (animal components)," "paws (animal components)," "hooves (animal components)," or another appropriate term.

emotion
Refers to a complex phenomena and quality of consciousness, featuring the synthesis or combination of subjective experiences and perceptions, expressive physiological and psychological behaviors, and the excitation or stimulation of the nervous system. Among psychological studies, the concept is associated with ideas on personality formation, rational and irrational thinking, and cognitive motivation.

series
A conceptual grouping of visual arts works, literary works, or performance art created in succession by the same author, artist, or studio and intended by the creator(s) to be seen together or in succession as a cycle of works. Works in a series typically share the same or related subjects, the same or similar media, or other characteristics, but their defining characteristic is that they were intended to be conceptually related as a series. Individual items in a series may be cataloged separately and linked to the series.

faces
The front part of the head of a human or animal; in vertebrates, the area of the head on which the sense organs of vision and smell as well as the mouth and jaws are located. In humans, the face extends from the forehead to the chin; the term may also be used to describe the part of the front of the head below the forehead, from the eyebrows to the chin.
