Description from the seller
This work by Edith Sont is titled Itinerarium Part C – Spain, and it is a screen print in a small edition of twenty copies. Sont combines here a Spanish landscape with geometric and decorative shapes. At the top we see a hilly landscape with fields, houses and vegetation, while the lower part is constructed in a much more abstract way from stars, crescents and repeated organic shapes. The bright colors red, green, orange and black create strong contrasts. By combining the landscape with patterns, it creates an image that not only seems to depict a real place, but also evokes memories and impressions of a journey. This fits with Sont’s interest in landscapes and in creating space in which the viewer can seemingly walk around.
Edith Sont is a Dutch visual artist, born in 1939 in Goor. She studied at the Rietveld Academie and later herself worked for many years as a teacher, among others at that academy. Drawing forms an important foundation of her work, but she also engages in painting and graphic art. Landscapes, trees, forests and architecture recur regularly in her body of work. In doing so, she does not try to imitate nature exactly: space, light, form and color are especially important. Additionally, repetition and a strong attention to form and detail are characteristic. Sont was also active within Dutch artists’ organizations, including serving as president of Arti et Amicitiae and within the Jeanne Oosting Stichting/Foundation.
Dimensions with frame: 51 x 38 cm
Dimensions without frame: 73 x 53 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. We also make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
