Frederick Carter: An English painter, etcher and
writer of great imagination, Frederick Carter abandoned an early career
as a surveyor and engineer. Mainly self-taught, Carter studied in the
great galleries of both London and Paris. Between 1907 and 1934 he created
an oeuvre of 139 etchings and drypoint engravings. Frederick Carter also supported
himself as a writer and was a leading scholar in the fields of religion
and mysticism. His circle of friends included the poet, W. B. Yeats, the
sculptor, Jacob Epstein, and the novelists, T. F. Powys (Born, 1875 - Died, 1953)
and D. H. Lawrence. |
|
Frederick Carter's earliest etchings deal mainly with his interest
in the Italian Commedia dell' Arte. Soon after, however, his powerful
mysticism and imagination begin to dominate. Most of his etched portraits
date from the early 1930's and are masterworks of form and structure.
Frederick Carter was elected an Associate of the Royal Engravers. Both
the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum own collections of
his etchings and engravings. |

In 1998 Apocalypse Press secured the rights from the artist's
estate to reprint several Frederick Carter plates. This impression of T. F. Powys
originates from the printing. |
