North Country
Etching, 1929, 308 x 229 mm., Giardina 140 iv/iv. Fine impression with a film of tone in the sky, on laid paper with good margins, signed in pencil and inscribed “Ed. 90.” With the late Twenties and early Thirties, an American and modern, but realist, movement developed called Regionalism, which eschewed the city as subject and moved to representations of rural life. In the graphic arts, most of the work was in lithography and most of the action in the mid-West (Benton, Curry, Wood). But there were other manifestations of Regionalism. Kerr Eby’s evocations of rural New England, Connecticut especially, are consistently poetic and often magical. The precise location of North Country is not known but it is clearly the snow-bound North East: the black trees, the white snow, the grey sky. Which brings up an interesting technical point: Eby’s use of plate tone not as an enhancement but as a distinct part of his etching technique.
