Aquatint on selfmade paper // Liliane 8 by Sean Scully, created in 2010, is a limited edition aquatint print on handmade paper. The composition is characterized by two prominent rectangular forms—one in blue and the other in earth tones—set against a gradient background that transitions from deep black at the top to a soft gray at the bottom. The blue rectangle features subtle, linear textures, evoking the feel of abstract landscapes or natural elements. The earthy lower rectangle contrasts this with a more grounded, solid appearance. Scully’s signature use of geometric shapes, minimalism, and restrained color palettes are on full display here, creating a contemplative and balanced piece. Measuring 86.4 x 71 cm, this print is part of an edition of 40 and is signed and numbered by the artist.

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.
