About Echo

A figure rendered in rapid calligraphic brushstrokes flies above and parallel to a wide, curved strip of black on a white ground in this painting on paper. The composition, balanced by a flick of the brush in the sky above completes the narrative of Echo who, from Ovid's Metamorphoses, was robbed of her voice by the jealous wife of Zeus. Lonely Echo was forever only able to repeat the last words spoken by another person.
