Aubrey Schwartz

Elm

Aubrey Schwartz's "Elm" is a fine, original example of his talent as an aquatint engraver. Early in his career, Aubrey Schwartz was inspired by the Expressionist art of Kathe Kollwitz, Ernst Barlach and Georges Rouault. As one can see in such a fine engraving as Elm, however, he developed a rich style all his own. Employing the complex aquatint technique where the image is constructed upon purely tonal (as opposed to linear) grounds, this American artist creates a masterpiece of dense atmospheric effects. The standing trunk of the long dead elm still generates its own presence and ‘life’. This original engraving is signed, titled and numbered, ‘185/210’ by the artist in pencil.
