Photoetching with aquatint on Somerset paper // Eva Rothschild's Untitled 2 (2021) is a striking etching and aquatint on Somerset paper that combines abstract textures and bold color contrasts. The composition centers around a circular form filled with intricate, speckled details, resembling a cosmic or geological texture, set against a deep black background. The dense pattern within the circle creates a sense of depth and movement, pulling the viewer’s gaze inward. At the bottom of the composition, a vivid red band provides a sharp contrast, anchoring the image and adding a bold, graphic element. Rothschild’s work often explores the interplay between abstraction and materiality, and this piece invites contemplation on cosmic and terrestrial themes through a minimalist yet evocative approach.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
