E. G., A.....

Jesse Reichek

1966

A suite of six lithographs in which the artist pares down image-making to almost blank, warm‑cream sheets so that the medium itself—the paper and print process—becomes the subject.

You are struck by the deliberate minimalism: a near‑blank sheet with soft fibrous texture, deckled edges, a tiny pencil mark at the margin, and a faint horizontal seam across the lower edge that make absence feel intentional and tactile.

Created in 1966, this work participates in mid‑century reductive and conceptual tendencies by treating absence and the material surface as the artwork, expanding lithography into a meditation on texture, gesture, and perception.
