"14 Midas"

collotype

portfolio-number stamped on verso

Part of a portfolio of 30 works and text in an envelope.
Photograms produced by placing leaves, rice, flowers, feathers, or fabrics were used as basis for the rework of Picasso. In addition, there are also photographs of two-dimensional structures that can be found on bark, glass plates or walls. Landscape details with trees, bushes, and water are also starting material for Picasso’s silhouettes. They were placed on the pre-exposed photo paper and are again exposed. Also, a pure silhouette (No. 16) can be found.
This wonderful work impresses with playful easiness and testifies an extraordinary cooperation of photographer and visual artist.
