GARCÍA LORCA, Federico. Ink Drawing with Watercolor Wash, Signed. c. 1934. 10 3/4" x 7" ink drawing with watercolor wash by the great Spanish poet and playwright, created during his stay in Argentina in 1933-34, depicting an organic symbiosis of plant and flesh: a small bush, or perhaps a mere branch, covered with berries and evergreen needles emerges from a severed human hand, from which also roots are descending. Aside from his stature as one of the great writers of the 20th Century, Lorca also maintains a following as a quirky, whimsical and subtle artist in a surrealist vein. His drawings illustrate several of his published works and are the subject of a number of monographs, but they are very rare in commerce and have almost never been viewed by a wider public. The present work has been removed from a notebook, so the left margin is a bit ragged; there is some light foxing as well, but overall, very good. Matted, framed and glazed.
