Krystyna Smiechowska
Letter From Vienna Color Etching 3/60

1970

About the Item

Letter From Vienna Artist signed, dated, paper sheet 30x22.5 Krystyna Smiechowska was born in 1935 Krakow -2014 Paris France. Printmaker Krystyna Smiechowska draws her inspiration from ancient maps and inscriptions and Slavic manuscripts from the High Middle Ages. She constructs abstract works in which the ancient writings and runes are integrated into the drawing and confer an aura of mystery to the work. Smiechowska is a master engraver, but her works often combine several modes of expression, such as etching and aquatint, and are often made on previously embossed papers. Smiechowska was particularly active in the 1960s and 1970s, including important shows at the Regency Gallery in Brussels in 1968 and the Georgetown Graphics Gallery in Washington DC in 1971. She participated in 1973 at the Biennale de Paris.

By Peter Milton
Located in Middletown, NY
Lift ground and hard ground etching and engraving on Murillo white wove paper, 18 x 24 inches (455 x 608 mm), full margins. Signed, dated, titled and numbered 60/100 in pencil, lower margin.

He printed a small detail transparency of Mornings with Judd onto the existing plate, alongside it's larger self, and broke through to a new photo-resist approach, which Milton described as "piquant and irresistible," in his essays appearing in Robert Flynn...
