AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large aquatint (etching) by Claude Weisbuch, signed and dated 1960. Titled The Clown. Not numbered. Print 49×33, sheet 67×51. Excellent condition, a small stain near the 1960 date outside the plate.
Born in 1927 in Thionville, Weisbuch became a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nancy, then was appointed professor of engraving at the École des Beaux-Arts in Saint-Étienne. He initially participated in group exhibitions before being named a full member of the French Painters-Engravers in 1968. Since then, his fame has continued to grow and his work today enjoys worldwide recognition.
Graphically, Weisbuch quickly managed to fuse an eminently classical handwriting with a sense of movement and layout that are very contemporary. Through his studies of musicians as well as his tributes to Jacques Callot, Rembrandt, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Daumier, he demonstrates his ability to reveal passion and anxiety, his sense of dramaturgy and staging. A painter, etcher, and exceptional lithographer, Claude Weisbuch continually seeks to capture the dynamics of life as an instantaneous moment, essentially around man and his pictorial, musical, and literary expression.
