Zdzisław Beksiński - Untitled (13)
Description
The photograph "Untitled (13)" by Zdzisław Beksiński is a print from the artist's original negative.
A key aspect in the interpretative context of this photograph is the formal treatment in the form of the contrast used between black and white. It has been consciously used by the artist to direct the viewer's gaze over specific areas of the photograph. The strong contrasting elements attract attention and guide us through the composition. The ascetic frame, further limited to just two shades, focuses the viewer's attention on the emotions of the portrait subject. Although the scene is accompanied by a mood of melancholy, we cannot clearly ascertain what the state we have found her in is about. Thus, as in the case of many untitled works by Beksinski, the path to interpretation remains open.
The contemporary print was created under the substantive and technical supervision of the Historical Museum in Sanok in a unique, limited series of 25 copies. The Historical Museum in Sanok, in accordance with the artist's will, became the sole heir to his works and the copyright to them. Each print has two stamps - one dry stamp with the name of the institution and the other wet stamp, with information about the series number and with the signature of the Director of the Historical Museum in Sanok.
