- Description
Extremely rare colored etching made in 1939 when Quirt begins to transition from "social surrealism" to an exploration of more explicitly surreal figuration and landscape that we later see in the larger, bolder canvases of the early/mid 1940s. As a member of the John Reed Club, an organization of leftist writers and artists calling for social change, Quirt was outspoken in his work about social, economic, and racial disparity in America. Many of the social surrealist paintings revolved around subjects who were Native American or African American. The subdued palette and scale of the painting is also in keeping with much of Quirt's earlier paintings. By the late 1930s Walter Quirt was well established in New York and viewed primarily as an American Surrealist, although he never joined the formal European surrealists many of whom were living as ex-pats in New York during WWII.
The print is in overall very good condition having minor water damage on the top right corner, not damaging the printed area; the print is signed ‘’Quirt ’39’’ on the bottom right corner as part of the plate. and is framed with a mid gray mat and a black plastic frame.
