David Avery
Departure - The Eye Like a Strange Ballon

2022

About the Item

Medium: Etching Year: 2022 Edition Size: 35 Image Size: 8.088 x 6.75 inches Paper Size: Zerkall Copperplate Cream (yellow) (15" x 12") An hommage to Odilon Redon's 1878 print Eye-Balloon, adding his own style and embellishment. One of several recent prints by Avery that continue to win awards and purchase by museums and public collections. Surrealistic image of an Eye-baloon" taking flight from the wreckage below. David Avery continues to explore the expressive and technical possibilities inherent in black and white line etching. His work is included in the collections of the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, the New York Public Library, the Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, the Stanford University Library among others, and has been noted in the New York Times. Even though “black and white doesn’t sell”, he has eschewed the use of color, finding the subtleties and tonalities of black and white most capable of creating the psychological mood that allows his work to be effective.
