Medium:	Original Soft Ground Etching
Note:	Carl Lewis Pappe 'Carl Pappe': A major twentieth century painter, printmaker and sculptor, Carl Lewis Pappe emigrated with his family to the United States (Lorrain, Ohio) at the age of eleven. From 1921 to 1925 he attended the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art) and then (during 1925 and 1926) the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, under Hugh Breckenridge and Daniel Garber. In 1929 Pappe worked as a stage designer for Paramount Studios, in New York. Due to the Depression he lost this job in the following year and was forced to seek any form of employment.
	Carl Pappe first visited Mexico City in 1934. During the following four years he associated with some of Mexico's finest artists, such as, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Carlos Merida, Juan O'Gorman and Ruffino Tamayo. He also worked as a mural assistant to Jose Orozco. Around 1938 Pappe settled permanently in the city of Taxco. Along with his wife (the anthropologist, Bernice Goodspeed) he opened a studio and gallery there which was also a sanctuary for many Mexican artists escaping from political persecution in the Capital. Mother was probably created by the artist shortly after his establishment in Taxco.
	During the following years Carl Pappe's art was recognized not only in Mexico but in the United States. He was elected a Fellow of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and today examples of his fine prints and paintings are included in such collections as the Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia, and the Library of Congress, Washington, DC.
