SENTIER À TRAVERS LES ARBRES
Estimate:
€1,000 - €1,500
Roderic O'Conor, 1860-1940
PATH THROUGH THE TREES (1893)
Etching, 22 1/2" x 15" (57.1 x 38.1cm), restrike edition 1981.
Literature: Roy Johnston, The prints of Roderic O'Conor, Musee de Pont-Aven 1999, p. 44, no. 13
Whilst staying at Le Pouldu for most of the 1893 season, O'Conor received on-the-spot guidance in the technique of etching from Armand Seguin. Working side by side with his friend, O'Conor produced about 40 prints of figure and landscape subjects, most of them drawn onto zinc plates rather than the more expensive copper.
In this body of work it is clear that the artist sought to maximise the expressive potential of the free-flowing lines made by the etching needle, lengthening and banding them together wherever possible.
