LETTERIO CALAPAI
11:45 P.M.

Engraving, etching and aquatint with hand-coloring in watercolor, 1947. 500x306 mm; 19 5/8x12 inches, full margins. Signed, titled, dated and numbered 16/20 in pencil, lower margin. A superb impression.

Among Calapai's best known images, this print combines elements from his traditional study at the Art Students League, New York, with the influence of Stanley W. Hayter's Atelier 17, where Calapai worked in 1946-47.
