12 x ARNULF RAINER - UNFINISHED INTO DEATH - Signed by Arnulf Rainer on a certificate of Authenticity - Containing 12 photos (paper size 36x50cm) and 1 page of text by Arnulf Rainer in English, German, Chinese and Spanish. // Unfinished Into Death (12) by Arnulf Rainer, created in 2011, is a powerful and provocative series of twelve photographs that combine expressive painted overlays with photographic depictions of human figures. Each image captures intense, intimate, and vulnerable moments, layered with Rainer's dynamic, gestural strokes in dark colors, often black or red, which partially obscure and redefine the forms beneath. This series exemplifies Rainer’s exploration of existential themes, blurring boundaries between life and death, intimacy and isolation. The overlay of abstract markings adds a layer of emotional complexity, symbolizing both an invasion of personal space and a protective veil. The images create a haunting and raw visual experience, urging viewers to confront themes of mortality, sensuality, and the transient nature of human existence. Show Less
