Color etching, own print, edition 19/35, work in excellent condition, frame has some damage (interior and glass excellent, only frame damaged, see photos).
The etchings by Gerda Smit (born in Utrecht 1934 – died in Eindhoven 2004) are easily recognizable. She quickly mastered her own direct style and has always remained faithful. After years of working in pre-primary education, she chose to study at the art academy to become a graphic artist. For over 18 years she created people, children, animals and situations that come very close to your skin. You come to love her etchings almost as if by yourself: the (refined) simplicity, the colors that seem to be alive and the tactility of the image. Her work has something 'heavenly', a certain lightness: children turn into angels, hands turn into wings and life is lifted from the ground.
Like her daughter and graphic artist Marjan Smit, she spent many Sundays at the art market on the Spui in Amsterdam.
Unfortunately, little has been published about Gerda Smit's work, but the most important book is 'Gerda Smit Picture Book'. Many of her etchings and paintings can be viewed in this booklet.
