Pol Mara (1920-1998) — Artist's Proof (EA) — Mixed media on chipboard — straight from the studio in Gordes (France)
Unique and atmospheric work by the internationally renowned Belgian artist Pol Mara. This artist's proof (Épreuve d'Artiste — EA) comes directly from Pol Mara's former studio in Gordes (Southern France), where he lived and worked for many years.
The work shows a dreamy, almost surreal female portrait, constructed from different layers of images with photographic and painterly elements — characteristic of Mara's unique combination of hyperrealism and poetry.
