ALBERTI, Rafael Original Watercolor, Signed. n.p., c. 1950
13 ¾” x 9 7/8” original watercolor, signed by the great Spanish poet. Alberti had trained as an artist, and it was due only to a health problem requiring a mountain cure that would uproot him from his studies, that his poetic gift would emerge in his early twenties. The present image, which we date from the fifties, shows an abstracted man on the deck of a small sailboat at sea, his hair lashed in the wind. Very good, effected on a sturdy stock of paper.
