Description

This print belongs to the series De Cranach a Lichtenstein (From Cranach to Lichtenstein, 2002), in which Manolo Valdés (Valencia, 1942), co-founder of Equipo Crónica, revisits the history of art from the German Renaissance to Pop Art, isolating and transforming its most recognisable images. After Equipo Crónica dissolved in 1981, Valdés built an individual body of work in painting, sculpture and printmaking based on the quotation and reinterpretation of the great masters, from Velázquez to Matisse. Combining etching, aquatint and chine-collé, this sheet shows the bust of a woman with her arms raised and bent over her head, a classic pose of the nude in European painting; the face is reduced to a blank oval and only the contours of the hair, breasts, shoulders and elbows are traced in a fine, continuous etched line. The image is printed on a translucent yellow paper laid onto the support, whose corners carry darker triangular patches like pieces of tape, as if the drawing had been fixed to a wall. The economy of the line and the visible traces of handling turn a canonical motif into a fragment of memory. Published by Art of this Century, the edition comprises 25 impressions with 5 artist's proofs, numbered and hand-signed by the artist.
