Paul Flora (1922-2009) - Carnevale Veneziano

Carnevale Veneziano is a limited-edition print / etching by the Austrian illustrator and graphic artist Paul Flora (1922-2009). Paul Flora is a well-known figure in Austrian post-war art and is especially famous for his fine, expressive line drawings, often marked by subtle humor and irony.

Carnevale Veneziano belongs to his well-known series of Venetian carnival images and is a delicate work depicting masked figures from the Venetian carnival in the artist’s distinctive linear style. With fine lines and subtle irony, Flora transforms the festive theme into an elegant and slightly melancholic scene. The elongated figures evoke theatre, disguise, and human fragility. A characteristic example of Flora’s poetic and satirical graphic work, prized by collectors of modern prints.
