Still Life with Nuts

1929

Jacques Villon (Gaston Duchamp) (French, 1875–1963)

In the late 1920s, Villon began making "sketches" in pure drypoint on a plate that he would then complete by adding etching. The drypoint "sketch" shown here is the first state of the print and Villon printed it in an edition of fifty.
