Pit er Pat

"Pit er Pat" is an etching by Jim Nutt, a key figure in the Chicago Imagist movement, executed on wove paper and presented with full margins. The work exemplifies Nutt's characteristic style of dense, intricate line work and imaginative figuration, rendered through the exacting medium of etching. Created during a period when Nutt was exploring the expressive possibilities of printmaking, this piece demonstrates his commitment to detailed, labor intensive techniques that capture a distinctly personal and often whimsical visual vocabulary.
