Gouache. Signed in the lower right. Inscribed by a hand other than that of the artist. On cardboard. 63.8 x 45.7 cm. , the full sheet. [KA].

• An exceptionally light painting from the “Final Years.”
• A work of vivid color with a comprehensible method: Inspired by the décalcomanie in the upper right corner, Jorn devised the lively figurations.
• In a private collection for more than 60 years.
• The artist uses the cardboard’s hue as a “pictorial color” in this work: we interpret the “blue” as “sky,” and suddenly the figures are moving through a landscape.
• Transparency, “push and pull”—Jorn masterfully employs the variations of the “silent myth” he had developed over the years.
The work is registered in the Jorn Archive, Silkeborg (Museum Jorn).

Private collection, Sourthern Germany (obtained from the artist in 1965)

In good condition. Very fine craquelure in places of the impasto areas. A few tiny brown spots along the upper and lower center edges of the painting.
