The Knack, 1980

The print arrived tightly rolled with a certificate from the gallery, and the black-and-white clarity of those 1980 faces is striking up close. It’s a conversation piece in my living room now, and I keep noticing new details in the expressions each time I pass it.

The grain and tone in Lynn Goldsmith's print really capture that raw 1980 live-energy, it feels like the band is mid-stride right in my living room. The archival quality of the fine-art paper makes the black-and-white details pop. Every time I walk past it, I stop for a second.
