About the Item
Burns Brothers, Sutton Place. 1922. Etching. Giardina catalog 90 state iv. 12 1/4 x 8 3/4 (sheet 16 x 12). Edition 50. A rich, tonal impression printed on cream-colored laid paper. Signed and annotated 'imp' in pencil.

Kerr Eby is one of the great 20th century printmakers, heralded for his use of negative space and plate tone. His plates usually held a combination of drypoint and etched lines, resulting in an interplay of strong lines and delicate details. His night scenes exude mystery and the silence of nightfall, with highlights from a flickering candle or a roaring campfire set against an all-encompassing darkness. His landscapes are just as telling of his talents and skilled hand. They speak to his ability to edit, as he would enlist only one or two lines to do the work of many- letting the almost unmarked plate convey a sense of vast open space with great depth and dimension. His prints continue to inspire artists to this day, and also serve as a rich historical account of the 20th century.

- Kent Hagerman, (US Air Force Fairchild C-119, the 'Flying Boxcar')By Kent HagermanLocated in New York, NYWhile this is probably a military airport, Kent Hagerman still shows it at its futuristic best. Hagerman was an amazing draftsman who managed to get fantastic detail into his work. This is really a portrait of a plane -- the Fairchild C-119. The words 'United States Air Force' on the side of the plane date it to 1947 or later, after the Air Force split from the Army. The design featured the 'twin boom' clearly showing in this etching. Thanks to this feature it was called the Flying Boxcar. About 1100 were built and used until 1955. It was also used by the Chinese Air...Category
