NUMA RICK (NUMA WALTER RICKENBACKER, 1902-1979)
PKZ. 1946.
50½x36½ inches, 128¼x92 cm. Wolfsberg, Zurich. Condition A- / B+: minor abrasions and restoration at edges. Mounted on Chartex.
The dandy sniffing a red flower in his buttonhole is treated in a strange green, yellow and brown palette, with no attempt to be realistically descriptive. The image expresses far more about the artist's style than it does about the PKZ collection itself. It is another clear example of the consistently daring approach that the PKZ publicity department took towards advertising.
