Landscape
Edgar Degas French
Not on view
Relatively early in his experimentation with the monotype process, Degas produced a small group of black-and-white landscapes in which he explored the variety of textural effects achievable through the manipulation of ink on an unincised plate. This example of a windswept hillside with its clump of trees or shrubs at center and the dramatic striations of rain across the upper left, directly references Rembrandt, whose work Degas greatly admired, specifically one of his most famous prints "The Three Trees" (29.107.3).
