The etchings in the series "Karl Muck and his Orchestra" are prime examples of Rolf Nesch's experimental use of printing techniques. The works were created in 1931 by order of the Hamburg Senate, mediated by Max Sauerlandt for the 70th birthday of Karl Muck, conductor of the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra. The present sheet "Muck conducting" is a fascinating portrait of the conductor rendered on the paper in an ingenious pose. The barely outlined head and the hands with the baton seem to appear from nowhere the way they emerge from the dark plate tone. [JS]
