B. OLONETZKI ZU EHREN PABLO CASALS. 1951.
50x351/4 inches. Jacques Bollman, Zurich.
Condition B+: repaired tears in margins; overpainting in margins and image; minor foxing in image.
An abstract photomontage for a benefit concert in honor of Pablo Casals' 75th birthday. Pictured is the neck of a cello, Casals' instrument, once as a photo and two others in color . The different colors and the different angles very cleverly suggesting the tonal variations of the instrument itself as well as the movement of the 120 Swiss soloists who would be performing.
