ERRO : The Lovers, 1977 (signed)
Erro (born 1932)
The Lovers, 1977
Colour screenprint on wove paper
Signed and inscribed: Signed in pencil lower left; annotated "H.C." (hors commerce) in pencil lower left
Dimensions:
Sheet: 78 × 58 cm (30 11/16 × 22 13/16 in.)
Size of the image: 66.5 × 53 cm (26 3/16 × 20 7/8 in.)
Description: Erro appropriates Francois Gerard's Cupid and Psyche (1798, Musee du Louvre), cutting the neoclassical couple out of its landscape and setting it against a grisaille field of interlaced limbs and outstretched hands. The blue ground flattens the space and turns the borrowed painting into a pasted fragment. A line of printed text runs along the lower left of the image, carried over from the collaged source. The confrontation of academic ideal and raw carnality is characteristic of Erro's Narrative Figuration work of the 1970s.
Original screenprint printed in colours, hand-signed in pencil by the artist. Hors commerce proof, printed outside the numbered edition and reserved for the artist and his collaborators.
