La sorpresa più grande mettiamola per ultima.
Sarei stato meno sorpreso se mi avessero rivelato che la Torre Eiffel è di marzapane.
L'ho comprata a 5, 10 l'avrei pure pagata.
Ma, da perfetto deficiente, se mi avesse chiesto 20 non glieli avrei mai dati.
Diciamo che mi è andata bene.
Anche se percepivo di conoscere già qualcosa del pezzo.
Che in effetti è di uno dei miei autori preferiti, anche se non facile. Di lui, lito non ne avevo mai viste. Anzi, direi che questa è una fotolito "spacciata" come lito, ma ormai conta poco.
Non è numerata ma la firma è sicuramente originale.
Due partecipanti a questo forum l'hanno vista entro sera, nessuno ci ha fatto particolare caso. Una curiosità. Una bizzarria.
Pensavo fosse di autore francese di medio livello. E invece
la prima foto è dal web, la seconda un po' incurvata è la mia.. la terza ancora dal web.

Paper
David Alfaro Siqueiros, born in Chihuahua, Mexico, one of the 20th Century's most influential muralists. Portrayed Mexico's rich history and contemporary economic problems in visually bold political terms.
Marxism, influenced Siqueiros as evident by his treatment of the class struggle and his use of modern industrial equipment, such as the airbrush. Public murals, he believed, were a powerful and effective medium to make his work accessible to a broad audience traditionally ignored by art institutions.
After becoming Secretary of the Communist Party in 1928, he was frequently jailed or expelled from Mexico and nearly gave up painting. It was during one of these expulsions that he came to Los Angeles. His most productive artistic period began in 1944, when he returned to Mexico after an exile due to allegations of his role in Trotsky's assassination.
Mexican painter and muralist whose art reflected his Marxist political ideology. He was one of the three founders of the modern school of Mexican mural painting along with Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. A political activist since his youth, Siqueiros studied at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts, Mexico City, before leaving in 1913 to fight in the army of Venustiano Carranza during the Mexican Revolution. Later he continued his art studies in Europe. In 1922, after returning to Mexico, Siqueiros helped paint the frescoes on the walls of the National Preparatory School and also began organizing and leading unions of artists and workingmen. During the Spanish Civil War (1936–39), he commanded several brigades for the Republicans. Over four decades, his labor-union work and his communist political activities led to numerous jailing’s and periods of exile. He visited the United States, the Soviet Union, and many Latin American countries as a lecturer and guest artist. Most of Siqueiros's large murals are in government buildings in Mexico. Great dynamism and compositional movement, monumental size and vigor, sculptural treatment of forms, and a limited color range that is subordinated to dramatic effects of light and shadow distinguish his murals. Siqueiros and his followers produced thousands of square meters of vivid wall paintings in which numerous social, political, and industrial changes were portrayed from a left-wing measures 22" x 15”, image in excellent shape.

He commonly used synthetic lacquer colors sprayed from paint guns in order to speed up the process of decorating large public buildings. He also did many easel paintings, the best-known of which is perhaps Echo of a Cry (1937).

Particolare stupore per
@mantegna: questa lito fu creata (credo a partire da un disegno) durante il suo imprigionamento per la sua posizione in relazione alla crisi cubana
Siqueiros è
in assoluto uno dei massimi artisti del XX secolo. Uno dei pochissimi che riescano ad avere un piglio, diciamo, virile senza diventare volgari.
Qui si vede il lavoro originale, per cui sono convinto che questa sia una fotolitografia, magari necessariamente, viste le circostanze: non è che in galera ti facciano stampare una lito.
