Literature: Dittmar 225. Jorn, Prints 212–219. The composition shows a powerfully abstracted, figurative representation built from free, gestural lines and a multi-layered etching technique. Characteristic of Jorn, human forms merge with spontaneous signs and organic structures, creating an image between figure and abstraction. The lively line work and the deliberately rough surface texture give the etching immediate expressive force and reflect Jorn’s interest in the unconscious, mythology, and spontaneous artistic gesture. The etching is professionally and finely framed, in a mat and set in a handcrafted wooden frame with PLEXIGLAS Optical HC, scratch-resistant and UV-protective.
