The artist appears to have attacked the ground with a roulette and scraper before applying a very gestural mark with stop-out vanish and biting the plate deeply. During Ferron’s thirteen-year stay in Paris from 1953 she spent some time at Atelier 17, like so many Canadian artists, and this print, made many years later, reflects that influence.
A fine, rich impression on cream wove paper with full margins.

Marcelle Ferron (1924-2001) was primarily a painter who was associated with the Automatistes, a significant Quebec abstract art movement, and who later focused on large-scale stained-glass projects. However, from the late 50’s until at least the late 70’s she also occasionally experimented with printmaking, largely with serigraphy, but also producing a small number of etchings.
