Description
This highly imaginative surrealist composition features Russell's characteristic symbolic figures, heraldic imagery, and visionary forms rendered in vivid red, blue, and green. The work demonstrates the artist's fascination with mythology, ritual, and psychological symbolism that defined much of his mature graphic output.
Pencil signed lower right, titled lower center, and numbered 151/200 lower left.
The print remains housed in its vintage frame with matting and presents exceptionally well for display. Russell's works have attracted increasing attention among collectors of WPA-associated artists, mid-century American printmaking, surrealism, and visionary art.
