Edna Bleier, 'Topis Eve and Adam', Limited Edition Serigraph

This is a limited edition modernist print by artist Edna Bleier, dated 1980. The artwork features two vertical, arched panels reminiscent of Gothic stained-glass windows or cathedral portals. The subject matter, titled 'Topis Eve and Adam', utilizes a high-contrast, grainy aesthetic that blends photographic and illustrative elements, likely created via serigraphy (silkscreening). The left panel is composed of deep violet, magenta, and white tones, while the right panel utilizes shades of cobalt blue, light blue, and white. The imagery depicts stylized classical or religious figures embedded within ornate architectural backgrounds. The print is executed on heavy cream-colored art paper with generous margins. Notably, the piece is pencil-signed by the artist in the lower right corner as 'Edna Bleier '80', titled 'Topis Eve and Adam' in the center, and numbered '14/15' on the left, indicating a very small, exclusive print run. The condition appears to be excellent for its age, with sharp edges and vibrant pigment retention, showing only minor signs of handling at the very edges of the paper. The technique reflects a mid-to-late 20th-century preoccupation with reinterpreting classical motifs through bold, graphic processes.
