Description
Discurso cárdeno II, sobre el acantilado (Purple Discourse II, on the Cliff) is an original etching of 1992 by José Hernández, issued in an edition of 92 copies. At the top of the sheet, a clump of dense vegetation floats in the white space like a fragment of land torn from the earth; on it stand the ruins of a baroque church with a dome and lantern crowned by a cross, a broken portal and an arcade of arches, rendered with the precision of an architectural engraving. From the base of this island, long fine lines fall to the bottom of the plate like roots, hair or the folds of a vast curtain, opening in places to reveal darker, torn hollows. The contrast between the minutely described ruin and the empty paper, and the ambiguous nature of the falling forms, produce the dreamlike, slightly unsettling atmosphere characteristic of the artist. The series title and the date suggest a link with the Fifth Centenary of 1992. José Hernández (Tangier, 1944 – Málaga, 2013) was a Spanish painter and printmaker of visionary, fantastic imagery, heir to Surrealism and to the great tradition of etching. The impression is hand-signed and dated '92 in pencil lower right and numbered lower left; a blind stamp appears in the upper right margin.
Presentation
José Hernández was born in Tangier in 1944. Engraver, draftsman and painter, he lives between Madrid and Malaga. He is a member of the prestigious Academia della Bellas Artes de San Fernando. He is married to American writer Sharon Smith. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest living painters - engravers.
