About this work
Abraham Walkowitz made this in 1903-1925, aged about 25. It is now at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC.
How it was made
- Etching
- The artist draws with a needle through a waxy coating on a copper plate, and acid bites the exposed lines. The plate is then inked, wiped and printed under pressure, so the line keeps the freedom of drawing.
Abraham Walkowitz
Russia, 1878–1965
Art Nouveau
Posters and designs of the 1890s and 1900s, all whiplash curves and flat colour.
