EMMA AMOS (1938 - )
Harvest II.

Color etching, aquatint and drypoint, 1959. 295x508 mm; 11 5/8x20 inches, full margins. Artist's proof. Signed, titled, dated and inscribed "Proof" in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression.

Amos made this early print after she returned to London's Central School to continue her printmaking. During her fourth year at Antioch College in Ohio, she first went to England and studied etching at the Central School. According to Amos, "I really think I found and stopped worrying about myself as an artist my second year in England--etching and the whole idea of printmaking and having a handsome, a well-thought-out and finished work that satisfies you."
