Excerpt from "Parmenides", Dialogue by Plato, French text by Pierre Albert-Birot, 8 original engravings by Serge Poliakoff
Some light foxing in the margins
An etching, aquatint and burin on zinc, created in collaboration with the engraver Jean Signovert and published by La Rose des Vents, Paris, for the illustrated book Parménide. The composition is structured around a verticality divided between a light blue background and bands of blue and red. The work is the result of Poliakoff's assiduous work on etching since the 1950s. Here, the inks allow for delicate nuances that balance each other perfectly, between harmony and contrast. A horizontal red band stabilizes the composition's base. The apparent simplicity gives rise to the artist's singular dynamism.
