December 1970 - five color - German etching paper.
This was Scholder’s first experiment with color lithography. His first two images were created using just black ink. He was initially frustrated by the lack of immediacy. That he chose to use five colors further complicated the process. Despite (or perhaps because of) his struggles, he was pleased with the piece and chose to include it in the suite. It is a strong image and a fascinating look at Scholder’s evolution as a lithographer.
