About the Work

Gotthard Graubner covered a sheet of thick cardboard with delicately modulated, cloudy structures from edge to edge. To that end, he had applied charcoal to a piece of canvas which he then pressed firmly onto the cardboard surface. He thus transferred the canvas texture, which the drawing cardboard does not possess. Next, again using charcoal, he added a wide-meshed weave of loosely curving lines, which he rubbed around the edges. This makes the edges look rounded, such that the picture surface seems to bulge forward. The artist thus achieved the effect of a three-dimensional ‘picture-body’ with the mediums of drawing.
