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

Dark wall of ink with a stick-figure cart wandering off to the right.

This etching from the Archaikon portfolio by Leo Zogmayer is by Lifting Dumbbells, and is dated 1986. It is ink on archival fine art paper. Leo Zogmayer is an Austrian artist born in 1949, and a portfolio like Archaikon gathers several related images under one title. A dense, scrubby black block fills the left side of this etching. At right, a small cart with spoked wheels and a round-headed figure sits among ruled lines. It is 19.5 inches wide and 25.5 high.

A modest little journey beside a lot of drama.
