Michael Bedard - Il fallimento del marxismo - 1980s

Pair of original lithographs by Philip Bedard vintage 1980s design

Up for auction are two stunning graphic works by the famous Canadian artist Philip Bedard known for his surreal, ironic and minimalist style that defined 1980s aesthetics

Large frame: The Failure of Marxism
This iconic work features two anthropomorphic ducks sitting on a sand-colored island surrounded by a sea of thick red paint. The ducks look with a puzzled expression at the open paint cans, suggesting a witty and humorous visual metaphor. The contrast between the pure white of the birds and the vibrant red creates a powerful and modern visual impact

Dimensions 35 x 30 x 1 cm approx

Small frame: “Getting away from it all”
A hilarious scene depicting a duck lying on a beach towel, relaxing with a drink and a radio while four crocodiles surround it with funny and hungry looks
The piece masterfully plays on the concept of extreme relaxation and imminent danger, treated with the typical lightness and the clean lines that have made Bedard a cult author

Dimensions 29 x 26 x 1 cm approx

Both works are framed with a refined light wood frame that enhances the pastel colors and the cleanliness of the drawing. Excellent aesthetic condition, ready to be displayed. A perfect set for collectors of vintage graphic art and postmodern design
