Description
- Valentina Nikiforovna Kulagina-Klutsis
- Portrait of Gustav Klutsis, 1930
Vintage silver print, extensively reworked by hand in ink.
Literature
Tupitsyn, M. 2004 pl. 39, p. 99 (variant).
Condition
Heavy reworking in ink has affected the surface of this print which is buckled as a result. The surface in areas not inked is good, with only a few superficial marks in those areas. An interesting demonstration of heavy reworking for publication, and a rare portait of Klutsis.
