The Pearl Diver (De Parelduiker) - RICHARD ROLAND HOLST - lithograph printed in black and gold on grey paper

RICHARD ROLAND HOLST
Dutch, (1868-1938)

Lithograph printed in black and gold on grey paper, 1918, edition unknown but probably small. 13 7/8 x 16 1/2 in. Initialed and dated on the stone. This is a good impression with full margins. (The gold is printed a bit lighter than usual.) The condition is quite good. Holst was an important Dutch symbolist mural painter, illustrator and printmaker. As seen here, the pearl stands for the art object and is presented to the public by the artist (the diver). (Literature: F. Leidelmeijer & D. van der Cingel, Art Nouveau and Art Deco en Nederland, Amsterdam, 1983, p. 45, ill. 21.)       SOLD
