About the Item

Le Papillon Pressé is an excellent colored etching realized in 1978 by the artist Renée Lubarow (b. 1923). Printed by Atelier Morsang, Paris. The work belongs to the series "Déja suivi de Alto", an illustrated edition consisting of 12 etchings. Limited edition of 165; one of he 110 specimens on vélin d'Arches. Mint conditions. Renée Lubarow's creative work was predominantly inspired by the 1930s. Globally this period can be best characterised by the clash between the world’s dominant political philosophies - Marxist Socialism, Capitalist Democracy, and the Totalitarianism of both Communism and Fascism. In the Soviet Union, Stalin’s government needed urgent funds to implement the rapid industrialisation demanded by the first Five Year Plan. It initiated a secret proposal to sell off treasures from the State Hermitage Museum in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), including a preliminary list of two hundred and fifty unique paintings by the Old Masters, many of which found their way to the collection of Andrew Mellon via the New York based art dealing company, Knoedler. In the United States, the Great Depression had a great impact on artistic output, with many artists focusing on the agrarian and the humble man in the streets. It was the first time in US history that widespread movements of artists began to address politics, and attempted to use their art to impact society. Artists organized exhibitions on social and political themes such as poverty, lack of affordable housing, anti-lynching, anti-fascism, and workers' strikes. In Europe, Surrealism continued to be the leading artistic trend; a kind of expression and school of thought that by this time had spread across the globe. In Mexico, artists like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera integrated many of these principals into their radical political ideologies to develop a innovative kind of magic realism. The era assumed a sinister turn with the beginning of National Socialism in Germany, and Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1933. The decade would conclude in the inset on the Second World War; a political and social tumult that preoccupied not only artists, but large swathes of the world’s population.
