Rosset Culleron 46 - One of 30 copies. - André Marfaing's style dispenses with unessential decoration as well as irrelevant questions; his examination of the color black and its subtle half-tones and the meanings behind them, the contrast to light, emptiness and fullness also reveals philosophical questions of existence, nothingness and being. From these contrasts, Marfaing creates works with an exciting rhythm and immediate precision and conciseness. Aquatint on wove paper. Signed and numbered.
