6 Eaux fortes etchings

Title
6 Eaux fortes etchings
Description
1975? 6 Eaux fortes etchings by Daniel Rouvière: "Les fables de La Fontaine." Each matted with a resulting space of 4½" x 6½". €80 from matbooks through Ebay, Sept., '23.
Daniel Rouvière (1913-1985) seems to have done etchings like these and oil paintings. FG is signed, apparently with a signature meant to cover the whole group. There are two versions of FC among the six. I would say that something like "dimensionality" marks this set of etchings: each works with the space between two characters or two scenes. The work within the limited space given to either of the two in any case is exceedingly fine. FG and TH include a snippet of text from La Fontaine. My favorite in the group is probably FS, since it contrasts two scenes. The distancing is particularly effective in FG.
