Description
Abraham Rattner (1895-1978) - And when the Lord lives.... Original colour lithograph on untrimmed pearlescent wove paper, 50.5 x 65 cm. Signed in pencil by the artist lower right. Condition A, perfect state of preservation. This work illustrates the dramatic power of Rattner's style, where the influence of Cubism meets a flamboyant Expressionism with religious overtones. The artist uses saturated contrasting colours, reminiscent of the luminosity of stained glass windows, to portray this biblical story with remarkable graphic tension. The use of pearlescent vellum paper, a rare and precious medium with iridescent reflections, gives the print exceptional depth and brilliance, magnifying every nuance of the composition. The untrimmed edges bear witness to a very luxurious print run, making this lithograph a choice piece for collectors of the École de Paris and modern sacred art.
