“Antelope of Akrotiri” Return to the Magnus Collection
Remarque What are Remarques? Remarques are personal illustrations drawn by hand directly onto the limited edition print, in which the artist highlights a detail of the print. Each remarque is a custom drawing, and can dramatically increase the visual impact of your print, as well as its value, due to this unique feature.
Description of this Artwork Inspired by the west wall of Room Beta 1 at Akrotiri, a Bronze Age settlement on the Aegean island of Thera. The middle zone on the west, north and east walls of Room Beta 1 were devoted to a study of the antelope. Though the antelope are rendered in outline only, the artist revealed the strength of his talent, giving them expression and depicting them in an amorous converse, as is shown by the movements of the heads, of the lips and the tails. |
