Jettmar, Rudolf (Zawodzie 1869 – Vienna 1939). (Rocky Glen.) Aquatint. (1902.) Inscribed in etched letters in the platemark: “Felsschlucht.” Original-Radierung von Rudolf Jettmar. / Verlag der Gesellschaft für vervielfältigende Kunst, Wien. / Druck der k.k. Hof- & Staatsdruckerei, Wien. 41 x 27 cm.

Weixlgärtner 49, V. – Published 1906 by the Society for Reproducing Art in Vienna as internationally focussed spearhead for the experiments of the artists of Symbolism, Expressionism, and the Secession. – On light cardboard. – Marginal tear repaired. Specially the broad white margin foxing, the picture itself touched on the back only.

“ One could call Jettmar (member of the Vienna Secession since 1898, co-worker of Ver Sacrum) the opponent of Klimt in Vienna; his contribution to the art nouveau is another element … Less economic than by Klimt the line is used: as a thorough web of darknesses out of which landscape and figures crystallize under the influence of important and often hidden sources of light ”
