The Art of Saul Yurkievich (1931-2005): The Lyricism of the Line

Saúl Yurkievich (1931–2005) — David with a Harp

Drawing on paper.
Dimensions: 22.5 × 17.5 cm.
Handwritten inscription “David” in the lower right; faint, barely legible stamp mark nearby.

This composition depicts King David, recognizable by his crown and harp. His elongated silhouette and face, and his beard rendered as a tangle of lines, give the figure a contemplative expression.

The fine, free-flowing lines draw attention to the gaze, the hand, and the strings of the instrument. The figure stands out against a sheet of paper left largely blank, in a spare evocation of the musician and poet king.

Saúl Yurkievich (1931–2005) — David à la harpe

Dessin sur papier.
Dimensions : 22,5 × 17,5 cm.
Inscription manuscrite « David » dans la partie inférieure droite ; trace de cachet peu lisible à proximité.

Cette composition représente le roi David, reconnaissable à sa couronne et à sa harpe. La silhouette étirée, le visage allongé et la barbe traitée par un enchevêtrement de traits donnent au personnage une expression méditative.

Le graphisme fin et libre concentre l’attention sur le regard, la main et les cordes de l’instrument. La figure se détache sur un papier largement laissé vierge, dans une évocation dépouillée du roi musicien et poète.
