Untitled Signed in pencil lower right (see photo) Edition: 25 (9/25) (see photo) Engraving, drypoint & carborundum Printed by the artist Condition: Excellent, slight residue on reverse Sheet: 9 7/8 x 12 3/4" Image/Plate: 5 x 7" Note: Goetz was born in the United States, moved to Paris and became a noted Surrealist artist and journalist of the surrealist movement. As a printmaker, Goetz invented carborundum printmaking in the 1960’s. In 1968, La gravure au carborundum, a treatise on carborundum printing, was published by the Maeght Gallery. It was prefaced by Joan Miró. 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 work. Henri Bernard Goetz (1909-1989) Henri Bernard Goetz was born 29 September 1909 in New York, in a family of French and American origin. He studied at Harvard University and the Grand Central Art School before moving to Paris in 1930 where he continued his studies at the Academies Julian and Academies Ozenfant in Montparnasse. After a brief return to the US in the early 1930’s he settled permanently in France, taking a Parisian studio next to Victor Brauner. With Brauner Goetz became involved with the Surrealist group and was soon a highly accomplished exponent. 1935 would be a year of major importance for Goetz: he exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Surindependants, he married the Dutch painter Christine Boumeester and he met Hans Hartung, who would become a close lifelong friend. In 1937 Goetz held his first solo show at Galerie Van Leer, Paris. During the war, having neglected to become naturalized French citizens, Goetz and Boumeester became illegal aliens and both worked in the resistance movement. They printed leaflets on a simple printing press and created posters to paste...
