Rolf Iseli
Composition, Surrealist Etching by Rolf Iseli

1986

About the Item

A portrait of a figure from the back of their head, rendered in scratching and sporadic lines, many of which seem to burst forth from the figure's skull. Surrounding the subject are several lines of text, written backwards in German. These lines were likely written in the correct orientation in the etching plate, causing them to be printed backward. The print includes a reversed signature in the plate as well as a signature and number in pencil and a red signature chop.
