With equal constancy and application he developed into true magnificence his techniques of etching.
The fully illustrated catalogue raisonné of his 175 unpublished and 200 published etchings traces his development from the first tentative beginning in 1897 to the maturity of his etched line in the 1920s and 1930s.
