press were hot upon the scent. For
tunat Won Schubert-Soldern's cata-
logue had appeared, that of Logs Del
tell was we'll under way, few en-
lightened continental museums al
ready had laid the foundations of their
Zorn collections. and in America,
where, IA years before, Zorn's collected
etched work had had its first exhibi-
ton, the print buyer was active"
Zorn by that time essentially had aN
rived. Those who were wise enough
or lucky enough to acquire his etch-
ings when they were first shown had
the exciting experience of witnessing
their sudden and tremendous rise in
price. The works of few masters
bring as much today in the open mar
ket.
To quote again from the current
Zorn catalogue: Among the outstand-
ing characteristics and qualities of
ZOrn's etchings are an absolute con-
troll of his medium. With Rembrandt
and Durer the name of Zorn will live
forever. He was a conjuror with the
etching needle; his work is so simple,
so bold. that the artistry of the skillful
hands is forgotten" And again, "A
popularity of Zorns work Is that his
drawing is not by lines defining con-
tour. but by light and the incidence
Of light" This is particularly notice
able in his etchings Of the nude, a
field in which he has no rival, unless
perhaps Childe. Hassam be excepted.
