The Language of Hands
As the most expressive part of the human body, hands have always been at the center of visual art, so naturally we had to make an edit of our favourite Partnership Editions depictions.
About the Language of Hands
Throughout art history, the depiction of hands changed mirroring cultural trends in key periods. They have gone from primal mark-makings, anatomical studies, representations of intention, or wealth to reflections of the subject and the mind. In contemporary art, we see a mixture of all of these subjects allowing the audience to have its own interpretation of the artwork.
