More Information
Known for both topographical views and portraits, Lautensack also created fanciful landscapes that are less about the observed details of nature than about one’s emotional response to the idea of nature. Lautensack deftly wields the etching needle, creating exaggerated forms and artfully constructed vistas that encourage the viewer to follow him into his world of a believable but completely invented landscape.
