A 1944 abstract etching by the American artist Daniel Philip Platt. This etching features an abstract bird made of swirling designs in black. Held in a black frame against a white mat, this piece is signed, dated, and numbered 6/50 to the lower edge.
Serving as a US Navy physician during WWII, Platt later went on to study with William Stanley Hayter at Atelier 17 during the 1940s. His work was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Congress, as well as Carnegie Museum. Platt used his engraving skills to learn silversmithing and eventually moved to Taxco, Mexico, to work as a silversmith there. His works are part of the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Detroit Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others.
