Description
An excellent impression from the editioned state. "Fire Under the Water" was published by La Jeune Gravure Contemporaine, Paris. The image was done using engraving, soft ground and scorper, to create the raised white lines. The violet color was printed using stencil, rolled on to the plate and the yellow using silkscreen.
