About this artwork
An important, widely exhibited artist and teacher, Keith Smith studied with Vera Berdich at a time when she was focused on finding a way to apply her own emulsion to etching plates. After she discovered a Kodak product to use for this purpose, Smith continued to help her perfect the process, making his own work with these materials at the same time. These prints, made during that moment, betray a sophistication that foreshadows his ultimate professional success.
