Max Uhlig, Face - Igor Strawinsky, a 120×90 cm expressionist monoprint portrait, hand-signed, in a limited edition 1/1 from Germany, produced 2000–2010, sold with frame by Galerie, in good condition.
Description from the seller
The monotype by Max Uhlig presents an abstract face that feels both powerful and vulnerable. Because it is a monotype, this work exists only once—a unique moment in which gesture, material, and concentration converge. That singularity strengthens the intensity of the image: what is captured here cannot be repeated.
The face is not worked out in detail, but built from lines, stains, and tensions. Uhlig’s characteristic handwriting—energetic, rhythmic, and exploratory—transforms the portrait into an experience, not a likeness. It seems as if the face appears and dissolves at the same time, caught between form and movement.
It is precisely in this abstraction that proximity arises. The viewer is invited to look longer and search for meaning in the layering of the surface. This monotype shows how Uhlig achieves maximal expressive power with minimal means: raw, direct, and irrevocably unique.
