Czech artist Jiri Harcuba is a widely respected engraver and teacher internationally known for his portraits in engraved glass. For the exhibition at Corning, Harcuba requested that only three pieces from the Museum's collection be displayed; the artist chose to pare down and simplify the presentation of his work to three objects which, he believes, reveal the essence, or soul, of his work.
