Description
Anonymous (20th century) - Composition (Lara T... ?). Original lithograph on wove paper, 49 x 65.5 cm. Signed in pencil by the artist (cursive signature to be identified), enriched with a handwritten dedication and numbered 30/50. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. This work presents a singular aesthetic, characteristic of the graphic research of the second half of the 20th century, where the line seems to seek a balance between figuration and abstraction. The artist, whose surname suggests an identity such as "Lara T...", deploys a confident gesture and a mastery of contrasts that structure space with great elegance. The composition is characterised by an organic fluidity and a subtle use of the paper's reserves, creating a play of light that gives the plate a mysterious depth. The limited edition of just 50 copies underlines the technical demands and rarity of this print. The handwritten dedication adds a historical and human dimension, testifying to the special bond between the artist and the recipient of the work. The 65.5 cm format allows us to appreciate the finesse of the inks and the precision of the lithographic grain, revealing every nuance of the original drawing. Although the full identity of the author has yet to be confirmed, the quality of execution and plastic strength of this print make it a captivating collector's item. It is a work of great sensitivity and personal character, and an elegant addition to the landscape of contemporary printmaking.
