René Carcan and the Interpretation of Nature
In the early 1960's he worked in the Parisian studio of Johnny Friedlaender, who taught him the techniques of colour etching. In the late 1960’s, he bought a small farmhouse in the Flemish countryside. Here he focused on a new symbolic interpretation of nature in his printmaking depicting the sun, trees, sunflowers and thistles.
