Inventor of carborundum engraving, Henri Goetz (1909-1989) was a great advocate of printmaking. Discover his original engravings above.
Henri Goetz (1909-1989), born in New York and settled in Paris from 1930, was a Franco-American painter and engraver. Initially close to the Surrealists, then to abstraction, he profoundly influenced the history of printmaking by inventing carborundum engraving, which allows for reliefs and textures of great richness.
Founder of the Académie Goetz in Paris, he trained numerous artists. Later settled on the Côte d'Azur, he created his first carborundum engravings with James Coignard in 1968, a technique that Coignard would bring to its peak. He was a friend of Max Papart.
