"Sew What" is a color mezzotint with burin engraving created in an edition of 35. This impression is #6. I love sumptuously designed textiles in both real life and art.

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. This print combines the forceful engraved diagonals with the softer drypoint lines. This is a view from the artist's window at the Delmonico Hotel, 3 East 14th Street...

Clearly Sanders was looking at ancient Mesopotamian figures. Even the elaborate feathered wings can be found there -- made about 5000 years ago! There's an initial 'S' in the plate...
