*Otto WOLS (1913–1951) Official Portrait Drypoint 33 x 25.5 cm Note: Wols remains one of the most unique and influential figures in modern European art. A pioneer of lyrical abstraction and Informel art, he developed a deeply introspective body of work, marked by a free, energetic line and great poetic intensity. In this drypoint titled *Official Portrait*, the artist reduces the figure to a few fragile, vibrant lines, revealing an almost spectral face. This economy of means, characteristic of Wols’s graphic universe, lends the work remarkable expressive power, oscillating between apparition, effacement, and inner tension. The delicate drypoint technique, with its incisive and spontaneous lines, reveals the artist’s full sensitivity and his deeply experimental approach to engraved drawing. This print will appeal to lovers of postwar art, modern printmaking, and intimate compositions where the artistic gesture takes precedence over descriptive representation.
