(abstracted landscape)

Tuvia Beeri

Tuvia Beeri’s work often features neutral tones wrought on the plate in soft textures using aquatint, his preferred medium. In this untitled abstraction, something resembling a warm, high desert landscape emerges from the plate, with a road or path leading toward foothills growing ever larger in the distance. The influence of Johnny Friedlaender, his teacher from 1961 to 1963 at Friedlaender’s studio in Paris, is evident in his use of delicate linework and patterns juxtaposed by powerful shapes and saturated earthy colors. A moody and atmospheric composition.
