Michael Kidner "Nine Stretches" Op Art Etching From The Elastic Membrane 1979

About the Item

Michael Kidner Op Art photo etching entitled "Nine Stretches", from The Elastic Membrane, published by Circle Press, Guilford, 1979 Pencil signed lower right front, Michael Kidner '79 Numbered and titled in pencil lower left front, 204 / 300 Nine Stretches Michael James Kidner RA (11 September 1917 – 2009) was a pioneer of Op art in the mid-1960s from Kettering, Northamptonshire, England. Michael Kidner was one of its earliest and most consistent exponents and it was in these overlapping fields of optical effect and systemic structure that he was to find the creative substance that was to sustain his whole career. A Constructivist by inclination his interest in mathematics, chaos and wave theories informed an art that is both rational and intuitive. Without losing his rigorous, intellectual approach, Kidner manages to make his work resonate emotionally.Throughout his life he retained an interest in unpredictable world events that provoked unplanned elements within his work but he somehow managed to intimate an underlying order through his use of form and colour. Kidner has work in numerous public collections, including Tate; V&A; Arts Council; Government Art Collection; Contemporary Arts Society; Henry Moore Sculpture Trust; New College, Oxford; Southampton City Art Gallery; Walker Gallery, Liverpool; Gulbenkian Foundation; Sintra Museum of Modern Art, Portugal; Stuyvesant Foundation; Poznan Museum, Poland; Malmo Konsthall, Sweden; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and National Gallery of Australia.
