From the series "Circus" 11 of the most beautiful etchings by Ursula Detheffs

64 etchings by Ursula Dethleffs can be found in our homepage. The first etching dates from 1948 - entitled "The Kiss" (288031). Ursula was then 15 years old - the young girl was shy, only dreaming was allowed. In the following years, one finds only a few works. 1955 - almost 10 years later - followed 13 works - including the excellent etching "painter and her model" in aquatint (288,019). The climax of their etchings reached the artist 1978 - with 25 plants.

A year earlier she had visited the Winter Academy for etchings in Kisslegg. Lecturer was the now internationally known artist Willibrord Haas (born 1936 in Schramberg, since 1948 in Wangen-Allgäu, 1954 Art Student in Munich- later master student, from 1961 moved to Berlin,  since 1977 a lecturer for etching etc.) 

With the most beautiful etchings the artist counts from the 1978 cycle of the "circus. The etchings are worked in two techniques (drypoint and Aquatinta). We show here today aquatinta-etchings - The Drypoint etchings can be found with the same station number via our search in our homepage.
