This etching was hand printed by the artist at The Center for Works on Paper in Philadelphia, which is part of Fleisher Art Memorial’s OPEN STUDIO IN PRINTMAKING. The work was executed on a zinc plate and incorporates the studio techniques of Intaglio and Aquatint. Five separate baths in Nitric acid were used to achieve the desired image, which was inspired by a 1929 photograph of Wilheim Bendow, a performance artist in German cabaret. This form of music theater was on Europe s cutting edge of the Avant Garde and coincides with the German Expressionist movements in Visual Art, Literature, and Film. Cabaret was also an area in which both class and gender roles were explored via satire. The image size corresponds to the etching plate’s size of six inches wide by nine inches high or 15.240cm by 22.860 cm. FRAME SIZE IS 11 INCHES WIDE BY 14 INCHES HIGH.
