Etching in red – dancer above flames and waves, M. Schneider 1973

Original etching – dancer above flames and waves, 1973

An expressive original etching in red and brown tones. On the left, dark, jagged flames shoot upwards; on the right, a graceful dancer floats above a tower with buildings, and at the bottom a turbulent sea surges. Numbered III in pencil below the image, signed M. Schneider and dated 1973. By the same artist we also have two etchings of an acrobat on a bull and ‘Die Gefangenen’.

Why we chose this piece

A surprisingly dramatic sheet with a strong contrast between the dark fire and the light dancer. It has something of a dream image.

Style and interior

Suits an eclectic or artistic interior and a wall of 1970s prints. Lovely in a narrow black frame with a generous mount.
