Lithograph, 1963 Handsigned by the artist in pencil and annotated EdA Artist proof Edition : /75 + 6 EA Publisher : Galerie im Erker, St. Gallen Printer : Erker-Presse, St. Gallen Catalog : [Schneider 58, p.148] 63.50 cm. x 81.50 cm. 25 in. x 32.09 in. (paper) 48.00 cm. x 63.00 cm. 18.9 in. x 24.8 in. (image) 4-color lithograph On BFK Rives paper In this lithograph, Serge Poliakoff's chromatic choices echo the spiritual and artistic traditions that have profoundly influenced his career. The wine-red hue recalls the sacred hues of Orthodox icons, symbolizing the sacred and transcendent. This vibrant, almost mystical red evokes ancient frescoes where color carried as much meaning as the image itself, acting as a mediator between the visible and the invisible. Orange, almost golden, seems to refer to the golden tones often associated with divine light in religious art. Finally, the deep green anchors the composition in an earthy density, recalling ancient frescoes where matter, stone and natural pigments interacted to create an embodied spirituality. In this work, Poliakoff transcends simple abstraction to reconnect with sacred reminiscences. Colors are not simply aesthetic elements: they become bearers of a collective memory, a quest for the absolute that resonates with the art of icons and ancient civilizations, where color was thought of as a universal and spiritual language.
