About the Item

The reference number on this work is Kraeft 88. It's from an edition of 100 and is signed, dated, and numbered, in pencil. Always an intaglio printmaker, Landeck switched from a more atmospheric drypoint technique to engraving while working at Stanley William Hayter's New York Atelier 17, in the 1940s. As this is a drypoint it dates from Landeck's career prior to his association with Hayter. This is view of 'Tenement Walls' includes a slice of a city backyard complete with clothesline and hanging wash. The repeated windows, with individual curtains, enforce the 'cookie cutter' feeling of tenement apartments.
