Although I've written about Rembrandt, to study his etchings it's not unavailing. Over 300 pieces of his etching-oeuvre are almost seems to exhaust all possibilities, from drawing like pen sketches to the well edited pictorial compositions, from the prints with clean white backgrounds to the tonal ones.

Würtz Ádám (1927 – 1994) hungarian graphic artist, illustrator.

Anyone who knows Würtz Ádám's art, he will recognize the Transdanubian folk inspiration, that fantastic tales, those little villages which are nested at the foot of gentle hills, those grotesque drawings which came from the folk art.


"I draw, therefore I am, I can say that, because since I have remembered, I'd always draw."

(Würtz Ádám)
