1970

About the Item

Image dimensions: 34.4 x 49.5 cm. A Surrealist Composition is an artwork realized by Henry Goetz in the 1970s. Colore etching on paper. The print is hand-signed in pencil on the lower right. Numbered on the lower left. Edition 6/50. Good conditions. This pleasant colored etching represents an abstract composition that remind to a surrealist work: the scene consists of shapes that seem to float in an almost dreamlike space. The colors of the earth predominate in shades of green and brown. Henri 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.
