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. 

Etching Dimensions and Condition Details

Image size:  14" x 11"
Sheet size:  17" x 12 1/2"
Condition:  We rate the condition as very good to fine. There is very faint time stain in the margins where a mat once was. There is also a tear in the lower margin (that looks like a cut from a matting knife) which is well away from the image and can easily be matted away.
