Raoul Ubac,
Slate monotype, signed and dated “R.Ubac 1957"
Resulting from Raoul Ubac's plastic research on the slates he sculpted. Monotypes and slate prints are halfway between drawing and engraving.
Our copy, a monotype obtained by applying pastel oil to a sheet applied to a sculpted slate, offers an additional dimension of reading by superimposing two prints. The top sheet being almost translucent, the superposition of the two subjects gives the whole a beautiful intensity of blacks.
Origin: Luxembourgish private collection.
