Karl Schrag (1912-1995)

"Inspired by summers at the coast of Maine, I wanted to show the immensity of the sea, to find a visual parallel for the fragrance of grasses, for the sound of the sea and of falling rain, and to express the influence of the moon upon the ocean. It was a search for the essence and spirit of an experience." - Karl Schrag, Happiness and Torment of Printmaking, 1966

Karl Schrag was one of the most respected painters and printmakers of the mid-twentieth century, effectively fusing aspects of Modernism, Abstract Expressionism, and Realism into compelling interpretations of nature's moods and movement.
