By Andras Böröcz
Brooklyn, New York: Dobbin Books, 2020. Edition of 20.

2.75 x 1.25 1.25" base with nutshell. Drypoint print on Masa paper with water color hand-coloring. Scroll (1" x 53" extended"), housed in a walnut shell, on a walnut wood base. Signed and numbered by the artist.

Dobbin Books: "Continuing Böröcz's absurdist exploration of walnut shells, 'In a Nutshell' branches off into proto-Russian Constructivist imagery of the nut-cracking hammer (minus sickle)."

Andras Böröcz: "I remember when TV arrived in Hungary in the end of the fifties. My favorite cartoon logo of a Soviet educational children program inspired this new series about walnuts. In the cartoon's logo, a young pioneer arrives on a spaceship next to a giant walnut and breaks it with a sledgehammer. "
