About the Item
This lithograph was one of sixteen Federico Castellón produced in 1968, published by Aquarius Press, to illustrate Edgar Allan Poe's 1832 story 'The Mask of the Red Death.' The image is explicitly sexual, showing a man and woman in coitus, using the crackling quality of the print to suggest the darkness and shadows of night.

Federico Castellón was born in Almeria, Spain and came to the United States in 1921 at the age of seven. Though virtually self-taught, he received a fellowship from the Ministry of State of the Spanish Republic. In 1935 he participated in the Paris Exhibition of Spanish Artists, which included Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Juan Gris. Beginning about 1940, he became a serious printmaker, both in lithography and etching. His work is mostly done in the surrealist tradition and his prints include "Bengalese Sisters," "By the Arks" and "The Proposal," among many others. He became an American citizen in 1943 and taught successively in New York at Teacher’s College of Columbia University, Pratt Institute, and Queen’s College. Castellón received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1949 and the following year he was elected a member of the National Academy. He was awarded a second Guggenheim Fellowship in 1968.

Federico Castellon
Federico Castellón (1914-1971) was a Spanish-American artist known for his distinctive style that blended surrealism and realism. Born on the island of Almeria, Spain, he moved to the United States with his family at the age of seven. His artistic talent was evident from a young age, and he received a scholarship to study at the New York School of Fine and Applied Art when he was just 15. Castellón's work is characterized by a dreamlike quality, often incorporating elements of fantasy and a strong narrative sense. His early exposure to both Spanish and American cultures profoundly influenced his artistic vision, blending European surrealism with American realism to create a unique visual language. He was particularly renowned for his lithographs, etchings, and illustrations. His illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" and other literary works are highly regarded for their intricate detail and haunting imagery. In addition to his printmaking and illustration work, Castellón was also a skilled painter and muralist. His paintings often featured surreal, dream-like scenes with a focus on human figures, and his murals are noted for their dynamic composition and rich symbolism. Throughout his career, Castellón received numerous awards and honors, and his work was exhibited widely in the United States and Europe. His legacy continues to influence artists and is recognized in the art world for its unique blend of surrealism and realism, along with a profound narrative quality that speaks to the human condition.
