Note: |
Carl Jutz: A fine German painter
and etcher of still lifes and nature studies, Carl Jutz also listed as (Karl Jutz) studied
art at the academies
of Munich and Dusseldorf. By 1865 his art was regularly exhibited in
Dresden, Munich and Berlin. International recognition of Jutz's art came
in the
following decade when he received awards from expositions in Vienna (1873),
Sydney (1879), Melbourne (1881), and New York (1902). |
|
"Ducks" is a striking example of Jutz's mastery of etching,
where he creates strong tonal values without sacrificing detail and atmosphere.
Today examples of his art will be found in public galleries in Koenigsberg,
Dusseldorf, Frankfort, Leipzig, Berlin (the National Gallery) and Philadelphia. |

A Note on The Dusseldorf Gallery: During the latter nineteenth
century Dusseldorf became the home of one of Germany's strongest schools
of etchers. Such distinguished artists as Carl (Karl) Jutz, Max Volkhart,
Kroener and von Eckenbrecher produced much of their best work while residing
there. |
|
Such was the appeal of the Dusseldorf etchers that a portfolio of twenty original etchings was published not only in Germany but in America as well. In America, the Boston publisher, Estes & Lauriat, published the edition. "Ducks" hails from this portfolio and was the second etching Jutz contributed to the set. |

The Boston print publishers of Estes and Lauriat published a special edition of twenty original etchings created by various celebrated German artists under the title of "The Dusseldorf Gallery", 1888 [1887]. According to "The Annual American Catalogue", 1887 published in 1888, which contained descriptive notes, of all books recorded in the Publishers' Weekly, 1887, "The Dusseldorf Gallery" portfolio published by Estes and Lauriat included three original etching by Carl Irmer, “The Outskirts of the Woods”, ”An early Spring”, and “Landscape with Cows”; three original etchings by Max Volkhart, “The Hearing Before the Burgomaster”, “The Reading” and “Much Ado About Nothing”; two original etchings by Carl Jutz, “ A Large Family” and this original etching entitled, “Ducks”; two original etchings by Jacobus Leisten “Au Revoir” and “The Arrival”; two original etchings by C. Kroener, “A Swineherd in the Woods” and “Wild Boar at the Stream”; as well as an original etching by the following German artists, “In the Church” by Franz Stegmann; “The Forbidden Passage” by Philip Grotionhann; “In the Pasture” by Ernst Bosch; “The Lake in the Woods” by G. Meissner; “Evening in the Bosphorus” by K. P T. von Eckenbrecher; “Landscape with Sheep” by C. L. Fahrbach; “The Forest Pathway” by Heinrich Deiters; and “Sorrowful Recollections” by Carl Heinrich Hoff The Younger. In total the set was limited to the edition of 350 impressions. Most were printed on laid paper. The more expensive sets, however, were printed upon India and Japan papers as well as on parchment and satin. An impression of this original Carl Jutz etching is housed at The Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) Accession Number P.6.336. |
