Item Description
A friend of WXXI offers a signed poster, 'Espana,' by Mauricio Lasansky. This image, where shadows part to reveal a monk-like figure suspended over a horse and an infant lying on the ground, is a result of the artist's visit to Spain. It serves as his statement about the carnage of the Spanish Civil War. His work expresses two aspects of freedom: the masterly fluency of a printmaker, and the insistence that dignity and humanity triumph over meanness and bestiality. Lansky has amassed a body of prints considered to be among the most powerful and impressive works by a contemporary artist in any medium, and has contributed significantly in establishing printmaking as a meaningful and critical art form of the 20th century. This poster, No. 14/50 1956, announces 'A Retrospective Exhibition of His Prints and Drawings at the University of Iowa Museum of Art, 1976.' It is framed in black, protected under glass, and measures 21 by 32 ? inches.
