BENI OLONETZKI (DATES UNKNOWN) PABLO CASALS. 1951.
50x35 inches, 127x89 cm. Jacques Bollmann, Zurich.
Condition B+: restoration and overpainting in corners and image; creases in margins and 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 twice in flat colors. The different colors and 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.
