Arnulf Rainer, Unfinished Into Death II (12), photography series; layered abstract lines in red, purple over photographic figures.

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 II (12) by Arnulf Rainer, created in 2011, is a compelling collection of twelve photographs that explore themes of mortality, transformation, and the human form. Each image in the series features expressive, layered drawings over photographic portraits, blending abstraction with figuration. Rainer’s use of bold, gestural lines and intense colors—often in shades of red, purple, and black—conveys a raw emotional intensity, capturing figures in various stages of movement, enclosure, and introspection. The overlaid strokes suggest both protection and entrapment, as if the figures are encased in cocoons or shrouds, emphasizing the fragility and transience of life. This body of work reflects Rainer’s fascination with existential themes, pushing the viewer to contemplate the boundary between life and death through a visceral visual language.

What is late modernism?

Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
