Zehn Radierungen (Ten Etchings) 1923 - 1924

"Zehn Radierungen" (Ten Etchings) is a portfolio of ten etchings created by Latvian artist Abraham Palukst between 1923 and 1924. The cover of the portfolio features a simple drawing of two men in conversation, likely a self-portrait of Palukst alongside another individual. The artwork is considered to be a fine example of Expressionism, a style that emerged in the early 20th century emphasizing emotion and subjective experience over objective representation. While Palukst's career was cut short due to his early death in 1926, his work continues to be appreciated for its bold lines, expressive figures, and nuanced use of light and shadow.
