Item Description

A print by Graciela Rodo Boulanger, signed on the lithographic stone.  Printed on Rives paper and issued in 1973 by Lublin Graphics.  The print measures 12 1/4" x 9" and is cut to the edge of the image.  It is unmatted and unframed.

Graciela Rodo Boulanger was born in La Paz, Bolivia in 1935.

Mme. Boulanger’s paintings contain brightly colored figures strongly contrasted by a neutral backgrounds. She explains, "The mountains in Bolivia are a drab color, very brown, very grey, and the people wear intensely bright colors…This light is very limpid and crystal clear, and the colors have a special resonance." Mme. Boulanger uses form, pattern and texture in many of her works to express motion and unify the composition. She conveys her vision as a means to explore the relationships inherent in all humanity. In her paintings we see through her eyes with the directness and innocence of a child.

Her works are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art of Latin America, Washington D.C.; the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris; the Museum of Modern Art in La Paz; and the Modern Art Center in Zurich, to name a few.

[This print is part of a collection of prints from a gallery in New York that was going out of business. The gallery owner’s son donated these prints to Congregation Ahavath Shalom (CAS).
