Bernard Childs (1910-1985) "En Ville" color state proof Numbered 1/1 lower right and signed Childs and dated 1964 lower left. Small mark on left edge. Tag on back of frame from Kulicke Frames, Inc., 43 East 10th Street, New York City. Childs' work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Childs was born in Brooklyn to Russian immigrant parents. He grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and attended the University of Pennsylvania until he moved to New York City in 1930 to start his art career. He studied at the Art Students League with Kimon Nicolaides and Danish silversmith Per Smed, where he developed his interest in metals. During World War II Childs further honed his skills with industrial tools working as a machinist in a wartime production factory. He lived in Paris from 1951 to 1966 where he developed a unique printmaking technique incorporating his metalworking experience. Childs used power tools to incise intaglio plates and he referred to the resulting prints as "power drypoints." Sight image 10" H x 8" W, framed.
