About the Item
Donald Saff’s “Morning in Jin Xian” is a compelling aquatint from 1985 that masterfully blends surrealism with a contemplative narrative. This piece, part of a limited edition of 14 prints, is numbered 8 of 14 and is in good condition. Measuring 22.5 x 29 inches, this artwork is a fine example of Saff’s ability to evoke deep emotion and curiosity through unexpected juxtapositions.
The composition features a strikingly detailed pig hovering above an antique chair against a rich, textured red background. Above the pig, a delicate branch with leaves seems to grow, creating a surreal yet serene scene that invites interpretation. The date "1983" is prominently displayed, adding an element of time and perhaps a personal or historical reference. The meticulous detail of the pig and chair contrasts with the abstract background, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures and sparking contemplation on their symbolism.
Saff, an artist known for his exploration of cultural and philosophical themes, uses the imagery in “Morning in Jin Xian” to suggest a narrative that is at once specific and universal. The piece invites the viewer to reflect on themes of nature, domesticity, and perhaps the passage of time, all rendered with Saff’s characteristic precision and depth.
As part of the Disney Contemporary Resort Collection, “Morning in Jin Xian” holds a special place in a collection known for its eclectic and thought-provoking works. The connection to the Disney Contemporary Resort adds a layer of cultural significance, linking the artwork to a venue celebrated for its forward-thinking approach to art and design.
For collectors, “Morning in Jin Xian” by Donald Saff offers a rare opportunity to own a piece that is both visually striking and rich in narrative potential. Its limited edition status and association with the Disney Contemporary Resort further enhance its value, making it a distinguished addition to any art collection. Whether displayed in a home or professional setting, this aquatint will undoubtedly provoke thought and admiration, serving as a testament to the power of art to transcend the ordinary and touch the extraordinary.
