Tadeusz Was (Waszewski) (1912-2005); abstract figures in a landscape, `Soot Cut`, pencil signed, 22x18cm. NB: Whilst Tadeusz was out in the desert he held an orange peel over an oil lamp. The soot turns the peel a dead black and on contact with paper produced a perfect impression of the surface. Now he experimented by covering a metal sheet with a thin layer of soot and drawing on the surface with sticks and brushes. This part of the technique easy, what proved more difficult and took years of research to discover was a way of treating the paper to make the image of soot permanent. Eventually he succeeded and over the years he produced a succession of startling mono-prints, known as `Soot Cuts` (illustrated)
