Pol Mara (1920-1998) — Original mixed media lithograph — signed
Rare and intriguing work by Belgian artist Pol Mara, in which we see the transition from his early graphic experiments to the later dreamy collage works.
In this work Mara combines graphic elements, photographic fragments and expressive color planes into an abstract-figurative composition with strong visual tension.
