Not on view
Etching or drypoint print of a bearded man in profile reading from an open book, rendered in dense, energetic black ink lines on cream paper
Etching with fine intaglio linework depicting two surreal figures on a receding floor plane: at left, a heavily shaded organic form with a spiraling horn and outstretched clawed hand; at right, a lightly outlined figure in a full-length gown, rendered in sparse contour lines.
Drypoint etching of a grazing antelope rendered in spare, fluid lines, its arched back and lowered head captured with minimal detail against a plain white ground, with two long horns sweeping upward to the left.
Intaglio print with loose, energetic black line work on white paper; a tall, sweeping vertical figure with spiky crown-like projection at upper left, a smaller skeletal figure at lower center, and two botanical-like abstract clusters at upper right.
Etching of a reclining figure rendered in energetic, gestural black lines radiating diagonally across a white ground, with one arm raised upward and scattered mark-making suggesting motion or impact.
Etching of a standing nude figure in profile, rendered with fluid, gestural lines; the head is thrown back and crowned with a spiky, branching form, with scattered dots and loose crosshatching throughout.
Drypoint etching of a standing figure rendered in loose, gestural black lines on cream paper, with radiating scratched marks bursting from the upper body and long arcing lines extending toward the upper left.
Etching in black ink on cream paper; a solid black silhouette of a standing figure inside a roughly oval circle, with radiating scratched lines bursting from the top and a small rectangular form at lower right.
Intaglio print with an abstract biomorphic composition in black ink on white paper; sweeping curved forms rise from a jagged base, with small geometric and knotted linear clusters scattered throughout.
Etching with abstract composition of energetic black lines, marks, and gestural scrawls scattered across a white ground, including zigzags, crossed strokes, looping curves, and dotted trails.
Intaglio print in black ink on cream paper depicting a nude figure with long curly hair seated atop a large boar, with a skeletal winged figure clinging to the rider's back; loose, expressive line work throughout.
Etching of two nude figures seen from behind, rendered in fine line work on a pale ground. The left figure straddles a broomstick with wildly flowing hair, while the right figure stands with a long braid; minimal shading with fluid, spare contour lines.
Etching with two figures: at left, a jagged, heavily cross-hatched abstract figure with spiky head; at center-right, a spiraling female torso rendered in fine curved lines. A tiny silhouetted figure stands on a horizon line in the background.
Etching with energetic diagonal hatching and radiating lines converging on a small reclining figure at center; a dense scribbled mass in the upper right and jagged dark forms frame the composition in black and white.
Intaglio print with expressive, frenetic line work in black and white. An aged bearded face emerges from a mass of wild, radiating strokes at lower left, while an elongated nude figure with outstretched arm rises at upper right, rendered in scratchy, energetic marks.
Intaglio print with dense, energetic mark-making in black ink; swirling circular vortex of hatched lines dominates the composition, surrounding a lighter central area filled with small gestural figures and schematic marks; a dark, heavily worked triangular form anchors the lower left corner.
Etching with dense cross-hatching; a dark, spindly figure with radiating lines for hair kneels in the foreground, while above, swirling scribbled clouds surround floating skeletal and reclining figures.
Intaglio print depicting a hybrid creature with a bull's head and ram horns, upright torso, and outstretched limb reaching toward sweeping curved lines at right; rendered in fine cross-hatching with fluid, gestural linework.
Etching of a rider on a rearing horse, both forms built from dense, swirling line work; a small skull-like figure floats above in a spiral of gestural marks against a white ground.
Etching with expressive line work; two elongated nude figures on the left gesture toward a dark, heavily cross-hatched standing figure at right emitting radiating marks; jagged mountain silhouette in background, swirling lines in foreground.
Intaglio print, portrait of a woman's face emerging from dense, swirling etched lines, with a decorative headband and ruffled collar visible through the energetic crosshatching
