September 24, 1983 Color lithograph signed on the plate Counter-signed and numbered 38/120 in pencil in the lower left corner 64 x 45 cm Soiling, water stains, slightly warped Note: Color lithograph by Ernesto Deira, created for the Arterre art event at Parc Monceau in 1983. A leading figure in contemporary Argentine art, Deira presents here a composition that is both minimalist and expressive, blending incisive black lines with vibrant red blocks of color. The work, halfway between figuration and abstraction, conveys a poetic tension between the body and space, characteristic of the artist’s visual language. It also bears witness to the dynamism of international artistic exchanges in Paris during the 1980s. A numbered print (38/120) and countersigned in pencil, this piece is sought after for its decorative and historical significance, which will appeal to lovers of modern art and print collectors alike.
