The larger image in this work is The Bone, an elegant engraving that was part of Goetz’s 1946 portfolio, The Primordials, produced while he was working closely with Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17. We’ve included it here for the series of intense thumbnail sketches to the left of the printed plate. Each is annotated with red pencil, “take out, straighten.”
