About the Item
The lithograph, entitled "Laocoön and His Sons," depicts a modern and minimalist interpretation of the tragic mythological story of Laocoön. The artwork is done in black and white, and was created in 1953, showcasing a unique blend of classical themes and contemporary art styles.
The image shows the high priest of Troy, Laocoön, who is desperately struggling against the entangling snakes that have coiled around him and one of his sons. The father's face is contorted with pain and anguish as he tries to free himself and his son from the deadly grip of the serpents.
The lithograph is a stark portrayal of the tragic events that occurred in the story, with the artist choosing to focus solely on the father and one son's faces, while the rest of their bodies blend into the snakes' tangled bodies. This minimalist approach creates a haunting effect, emphasizing the agony of the characters' plight while leaving much to the viewer's imagination.
The lithograph's monochromatic style and abstracted imagery give it a timeless quality, making it a work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today. The artist's interpretation of the classic myth is an example of the enduring relevance of ancient stories and their ability to inspire modern art forms.

"Phase 2 Variation IV" Black and White Abstract Fantasy Etching by Paul A. L.
Located in Pasadena, CA
This monochromatic, black-and-white abstract painting plays a constant game between forms and shadows. For the painter, his artworks are a pure contrast between the visible and the invisible. Dark gestural lines decorate the background and contrast against a disappearing white background with subtle details of grey. Organic patterns appear in the black line work, creating an ethereal use of depth and space. The foreground contains multiple uncanny shapes feeding an overall fantasy yet gloomy atmosphere.
