Octave A, 1972 by Johnny Friedlaender - 11 X 15 Inches (Etching)
Octave A, 1972 by Johnny Friedlaender.
Although Johnny Friedlaender pursued watercolor and oil painting throughout his career, describing himself as a “painter who engraves,” his artistic legacy centers on color printmaking, techniques which he pioneered. His early black-and-white prints drew heavily on Surrealism and Expressionism, executing phantasmagoric visions of animals and human figures, as in Cheval (1940), and aquatint etching of a horse leaping up towards the moon. Friedlaender’s abstracted portrayals of nature as a majestic, mystical force have been likened to Caspar David Friedrich’s transcendent landscapes, which he admired. As his style matured, Freidlaender rejected the gestural abandon of Expressionism, fully embracing a precise style of abstraction instead. He became known for musically oriented compositions of delicate forms and symbols in a harmonious palette.
