Technique & Style
Haass employed a contrasting combination of fine etched lines and heavy, textured ink applications, akin to scratching, to achieve a sense of depth and weight on the print's surface.
History & Provenance
Created in 1954, the piece is currently held in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art.
