Description
Walter Spitzer (1927-2021) - The painter on horseback. Original lithograph in colours on untrimmed wove paper, 56 x 76 cm. Hors Commerce (HC) proof signed in pencil by the artist lower right and bearing a handwritten dedication to Liliane Mourlot. Condition A, perfect state of preservation. This work is an exceptional testimony to the artistic intimacy between Spitzer and the Mourlot family, pillars of lithography worldwide. The subject of the painter on horseback, a metaphor for the traveller and the creator on the move, is treated with the nervous brushwork and humanistic depth that characterise the artist's work. The vellum paper support with its untrimmed edges, combined with the fact that it is a hors commerce print, underlines the rarity and private purpose of this print. The dedication to Liliane Mourlot, a key figure in the artist's studio, gives this print a prestigious provenance and undeniable historical value, anchoring it in the golden age of collaboration between the artist and his master printers.
