Description
This limited edition serigraph by Shraga Weil is an explorative representation of nature. The serigraph features vivid red, blue, and green tones which contrast against each other, whilst a pale blue bird blends into the landscape. The juxtaposition between the two appears to be Shraga Weil's commentary on the harsh realities of nature. Weil was born in 1918 and studied in both Prague and Paris. After producing his first graphic work during the second world war, Weil's artistic career took of. His work has been featured in America, Canada, Australia, France, the USSR, Switzerland, and in the International Exhibition of Graphic Arts, in Lugano. He was also awarded Tel Aviv's Dizengoff Art Prize in 1959. The serigraph is printed on paper and signed by the artist in the bottom right corner.
