SZCZESNY – WOMAN IN RED RECLINING – MALLORCA SUITE (PAPER)

Description

This screen print forms part of a series of prints which Stefan Szczesny produced in 2000 and which takes as its reference point and inspiration the island of Mallorca. This particular choice is owed to the artist’s predilection for the Mediterranean in general and a particular fondness of Spanish culture. ‘Woman in red reclining’ shows a female nude lying face down; the façade of a Romanesque fort against a bright blue Mediterranean sky is in the background, two palm trees in the foreground. Stefan Szczesny here captures the serenity of a Mallorcan midday, when it is time for repose and siesta.
