Henri Goetz
Abstract Composition

1950

About the Item

Abstract composition is an original artwork realized by Henry Goetz in the middle of the XX century. Hand signed in pencil on the lower right margin; "H.C." copy; first edition of 3 prints. Very good conditions. It is an etching realized by Goetz representing an abstract composition; in the center of the plate there are some geometric shapes with different patterns: horizontal lines, checkered pattern and pois. Goetz realized several etchings and graphic works in general. Together with his wife, in 1960, he invented a new graphic technique: the Carborundum Mezzotint. His graphic production was very interesting and his work is represented in more than 100 galleries in the world. Henry Goetz (New York, 1909 – August, 1989) was a French American painter and engraver; he was famous because he invented a new printing technique: the “Carborundum Mezzotint” a printing process that creates the image by adding light passages to a dark field. Goetz created many abstract prints using this method. Other artists such as Antoni Clavé, Antoni Tàpies, and in particular, Joan Miró, employed carborundum printing in their works. In 1930, he moved to Paris, where he started studying at the Académie Colarossi and the Montparnasse art studios and he began painting portraits and nude figures. In 1937, he held his first exhibition at the Galerie Bonaparte with his wife Christine Boumeester, a Dutch painter from Java that Goetz met at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. Goetz and his wife illustrated several books with their etchings and lithographs. Image Dimensions : 9.8 x 13.8 cm
