{"product_id":"marine-minna-citron","title":"Marine - Minna Citron","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1948 abstract etching and aquatint by Minna Citron, exploring fluid forms and deep oceanic tones through experimental printmaking techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinna Citron, a significant figure in the American printmaking scene, produced this work in 1948. During this period, Citron transitioned from the social realism that defined her earlier career towards a more experimental, non-representational approach. This shift was influenced by her studies at Atelier 17, the legendary printmaking workshop founded by Stanley William Hayter. Under Hayter's guidance, Citron explored the technical possibilities of etching and aquatint, moving away from literal depiction to focus on the physical properties of the medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarine displays the results of this technical exploration. The composition relies on the interplay of deep, saturated blues and lighter, verdant greens. The surface texture is particularly notable, created through the use of aquatint to build up tonal areas and etched lines that suggest organic, perhaps underwater, forms. Rather than attempting to capture a specific coastal view, the work invites the viewer to engage with the fluid, shifting nature of the sea through abstract shapes and layered colour. The marks appear to float within the rectangular frame, creating a sense of depth without relying on traditional perspective. The plate marks and the artist's handwritten annotations remain visible on the paper, providing a direct connection to the physical process of the print's creation. This piece reflects the mid-century interest in the subconscious and the expressive potential of abstract forms, demonstrating Citron's ability to adapt her practice to the changing artistic climate of post-war America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/female-model-vilhelm-lundstrom-2\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFemale Model - Vilhelm Lundstrøm — Vilhelm Lundstrøm\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/air-man-space-lyubov-popova\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAir Man Space - Lyubov Popova — Lyubov Popova\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Minna Citron","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58691751510351,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58691754000719,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58691754033487,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58691754066255,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58691754099023,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58691754131791,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58691754164559,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58691754197327,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58691754230095,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58691754262863,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58691754295631,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58691754328399,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Marine_Poster_CompositorV1_1788694406599.jpg?v=1788695069","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/marine-minna-citron","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
