Description / Description of the lot
Superb original print by the artist Liliana Rago, titled "Vitrail" (Stained Glass) , created in 1986. This abstract work captivates the eye with its dynamic, geometric composition. Wide bands of a deep brick red intersect with slender beams of a luminous yellow, evoking the metallic structure and the facets of light of a stained-glass window. The lavender-blue-gray background hosts delicate, black, slender, organic motifs. The rich texture and depth of color bear witness to a remarkable mastery of printmaking techniques (etching / aquatint) .
