For her most recent series, Austrian artist Katharina Anna Loidl
has reworked steel engravings of Swiss alpine landscapes,
transforming the original nineteenth-century prints with an etching
needle and burin. By carefully removing parts of the printer s ink,
Loidl also removes portions of the landscapes. In their place, she
introduces simple geometric shapes, deliberately lacking in
distinguishing architectural detail so that viewers are encouraged
to imagine the addition of structures of their choosing apartment
blocks, industrial buildings, or sports facilities to the idyllic
images. Landscape Engravings brings together fifty of Loidl s
alpine landscapes. Vitus Weh;s essay examines the sublime and
crystalline character of Loidl s art, and Paolo Bianchi looks at
aspects of romanticism as a fund, landscape as a sensation, and the
art of repetition. By introducing spatial interventions to the
idyllic, perhaps idealized, images, Loidl asks the reader to
consider the impact of residential and industrial encroachment on
the natural world and the value we ought to place on its
preservation. "
