Tortoise 1966

"Tortoise" is an etching by Czech artist Vladimír Boudník, created in 1966. The artwork displays a distinctive, abstract style using an array of black, white, and red hues. The image is dominated by an abstract, organic form in the center, reminiscent of a tortoise shell. The use of intricate stippling and hatching, combined with the contrasting colors, creates a sense of texture and depth, making this piece an interesting exploration of form and pattern. Boudník, known for his experimentation with various printmaking techniques, exemplifies his interest in exploring the abstract through this work.
