...place easily fulfills its reputation as a metaphor for death and deprivation. Even at the peak of midsummer, a soul-chilling fog blows in off the Arctic Ocean and across the mossy tundra, muting the midnight sun above the ghostly remains of a slave-labor camp.

He often etched directly onto his metal plates, which created frayed edges and scenes, as in "The Steamer--large, dark" (1910) of velvety mist. In his woodcuts, even the grain of the wood was used to simulate textures...
