Inge Clayton FRSA (1942-2010) - Signed 1991 Monotype The Male Nude

Description

An interesting contemporary monoprint in green tones by established Austrian artist Inge Clayton. The male life models appear rather vulnerable and are posed in a traditionally 'feminine' manner. The nude form and sexuality are subjects frequented by the artist and the feminist undertones are clearly picked out in this composition. Signed and dated. On wove.

Condition

There is some light creasing and surface dirt to the page. Overall the appearance is very good.
