Rothe) Title: Arabesque Edition: 8 out of 99 Type: Mezzotint Period: 20th century, circa 1970s Size: Sheet; 42.5" High, 30" Wide Brief Artist History: G.H. Rothe (1935-2007) was renowned as master of the mezzotint and as one of the world's greatest artists. She combined technical mastery with inspired imagination. She was born in Beuthen, Germany (ceded to Poland in 1945) and after living and working in Europe, she briefly traveled through South America before moving to New York City in the 1970s and later, California. Her studies in art history, human anatomy, goldsmithing and extensive drawing culminated in her discovery of the mezzotint technique. Impelled to revive this most difficult technique of printmaking led to an invention in 1972 never accomplished before in mezzotint: transparency. Her years of research and constant practice supplied the perfect medium for her vast repertoire of images. While her commercial success was primarily based on mezzotints and paintings commissioned and handled by galleries, dealers, and private collectors in the United States, Europe and Japan.
