Medium: Etching in paper
Signature: Signed lower right
Dimensions: 8.5in. h x 11in. w
Description:
Wilcox enjoyed etching so much, that he taught an after hours class to his students, in which he was not compensated and the school only provided a press for their equipment. Wilcox believed that etching "taught him the meaning of that difficult-to-handle problem of the sky and foreground. The necessity to balance a composition in plans of depth, and to develop the texture of objects is essential to the art."
