Nay, Ernst Wilhelm
*1902 Berlin (Germany) – † 1968 Cologne (Germany)Ernst Wilhelm Nay was also one of the artists whose graphic works were abruptly cut off from all "degenerate art" by the art-destroying actions of the National Socialists. It was not until 1949 that Nay returned to printmaking and learned the technique of lithography in Worpswede, which at the time suited his paintings, which worked with color fields filling large areas.
Until the mid-1950s, Nay alternated between lithographs and woodcuts, before finally entering unknown territory again in 1957 in Paris with Georges Visat - that of the color aquatint. In 1958 he completed this with soft ground etching (vernis-mou). With the learning of these complicated etching techniques, Ernst Wilhelm Nay had all the methods at his disposal to give his pictures the best possible expressiveness.
