notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Minna Citron (1896-1991) was an American printmaker, whose style dramatically transformed from representational to abstract art in the 1940s. She became a member of Atelier 17, a renowned avant-garde studio in New York, and was known for her experimental printmaking techniques. "Descendo," printed in 1950, was a part of Citron’s series called "The Uncharted Course," where she explored the relationship between spontaneity and control in printmaking. "Descendo," created only with black ink, was made with the same printing plate as Citron's two other prints "Arrival" and "Jet."
