Description:

Andre Racz "Boy With Orange" Drypoint Etching. Andre Racz (b.1916-d.1994): One of America's most influential artists of the post 1950's era, Andre Racz was actually born and raised in Romania and studied art at the University of Bucharest where he received his BA in 1935. He moved permanently to New York in 1939 and became an American citizen in 1948. He completed his artistic education there at both the New School for Social Research and at the renowned Atelier 17 (1943-45). Under the direction of Stanley William Hayter, Atelier 17 became the focal point for avant guarde printmaking. At this early date its two most controversial young artists were Andre Racz and Mauricio Lasansky who both created prints that elaborated upon Picasso's savagely distorted and anguished imagery. One author writes, "In the mid 1940's, Andre Racz created expressive and shocking imagery, but was not yet free from the influences of Picasso and Hayter. ... Andre Racz and Mauricio Lasansky worked their way through such transitional stages until Picasso's influence on them waned and their prints displayed the highly personal and mature characteristics that made them, in turn, influential printmakers." Boy with an Orange is an exquisite example of Andre Racz's mature art. Few artists have the ability to capture such warmth and expression with so few lines. Conveying so much through so little is the key to his artistic genius. Many of Andre Racz's etchings are not numbered. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Andre Racz not only etched his plates but printed them himself. He thus chose not to number his engraved work in specific editions. This particular print was published in an edition of one hundred.
