Etching From Archaikon Portfolio: Leo Zogmayer (Austrian, B. 1949)

Storm of black brushwork that may or may not be a landscape.

This etching from the Archaikon portfolio by Leo Zogmayer is dated 1986. It is ink on archival fine art paper. In an etching the artist draws through a protective ground on a metal plate, and acid then cuts the exposed lines that hold the ink. Fine lines and splatters trail from it, and a few small marks near the upper left corner. Pencil notes sit below. It is 19.5 inches wide and 25.5 high.

Abstract enough to be argued about at length.
