Faraoni struck his first plate in 1937 and held his first show in 1942. Rosai wrote: “One is tempted to make sweeping statements and yield to an immeasurable enthusiasm”. He made more than 1,000 plates, mostly the etchings (some woodcuts and dry points)Faraoni used a zinc plate. Expressionist, Figurative. His line following Chiappelli’s teaching, is sharp, broken, clearly defining the areas of light and shadows.
