Description

Tschudi studied printmaking with Claude Flight at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London. She organized simplified, geometric designs-adopted from the flattened, fractured space of cubism-into dramatically patterned compositions. Like the other artists trained at the Grosvenor School, Tschudi was fascinated with the speed and motion of machines as well as the energy and rhythms of modern urban life.
Abstracted print composed of fractured and rounded geometric shapes in muted greens, reds, and yellows and depicting a central figure playing the violin, looking down at sheet music in lower corner of the print to our right. Behind the figure is a grand piano, another figure, seated at the keys to our left, playing it. A yellow beam of light radiates out a spotlight over the figures from the upper left.
