Adolph Gottlieb: Early Prints
Koss Gallery
Adolph Gottlieb began making etchings in 1933 and produced several images over the next thirteen years in his home in Brooklyn. These prints document the shift in Gottlieb’s thinking from stylized figurative work, through surrealism, to his Pictographs of the 1940s. The scale of Gottlieb’s prints underscores their intimacy—the images range from as small as a few inches to as large as a foot or more. This exhibition consists of thirty-nine of the forty images Gottlieb is known to have printed between 1933 and 1947/48.
