Hand colored Etching // Gorrito verde by Liliana Porter is a hand-colored limited edition etching from 2007, produced in an edition of 50 with additional artist’s proofs (PA). This piece features a small, whimsical head with a mustache and a green hat, rendered with delicate linework and minimal coloring. The figure’s simple expression and the isolated composition on a blank background give it an endearing and somewhat surreal quality. The faint shadow cast by the head adds depth, making the figure feel tangible yet out of context. Porter’s work often plays with absurdity and subtle humor, inviting viewers to find narratives in the simplicity and quiet presence of her characters.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
