Norman Narotzky, born in New York, travelled to Paris in 1954. As he recalls, the engraver S. W. Hayter (Atelier 17) recommended him to visit Cadaqués. This place had a huge impact on Narotzky who painted this artwork inspired in the fishermen nets. Narotzky will end stablishing himself in Barcelona and became a direct bridge to North-American Abstract Expressionism and new figuration.
