Herbert Cutner (1881-1969) Early 20th Century Etching, A Sold Out Performance

  

Signed and dated (1922) in plate to the lower left-hand corner. The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. A rich and varied body of work from master etcher and writer Herbert Cutner. Most of the work in this collection spans the artist's life to the first half of the 20th century, with the majority signed and dated.

Cutner has succeeded in suggesting an enormous amount of detail in each composition, through carefully controlled areas of cross hatch and crisp printed line. This collection could have you browsing for a while!
