Signed and dated blind contour monotype.
This is an example of the technique that Adler learnt in the early 1930s from his direct contact with Klee and his general observation of Klee's work. The technique itself arose out of Klee's pedagogical and practical interests.
Adler’s most far-reaching, and most easily accessible influence, was his teaching of the monoprint, and in particular, the carbon-transfer, or offset drawing, whereby a preparatory drawing is traced onto another sheet, with an intermediary sheet between, which has been covered with printer’s ink or oil paint (hence the term “carbon transfer drawing”). The image is drawn with a sharp scriber, and the resultant drawing is enriched by a certain “fuzziness” inherent in the tracing process, as well as tonal areas picked up by the pressure of the hand.
