Karl Schrag was an American printmaker and painter whose work emerged from postwar abstraction and gestural mark-making. Working primarily in lithography and etching, he developed a distinctive vocabulary of energetic, layered lines and forms that occupied the space between figuration and abstraction. His prints and paintings demonstrated a commitment to the expressive potential of the printing matrix itself, treating each work as an investigation of material and process rather than reproductive technique.
