Description
Serge Mendjisky, Horse Race – Jockey on Norse No. 6, Printer’s Proof Lithograph
A vivid, pointillist-style composition capturing a steeplechase in motion, this horizontal lithograph presents a cluster of jockeys mid-race as they clear a hedge. The central figure, mounted on horse number 6, anchors the scene amid a dynamic interplay of saturated color—reds, greens, blues, and yellows applied in energetic strokes that convey speed and tension. The image retains the freshness of its watercolor origin, with visible chromatic layering and a lively, almost shimmering surface.
This printer’s proof, issued without text, reveals the technical process behind the lithograph, including color registration marks at the lower right. Printed on B.K.F. de Rives paper and presented as a full, untrimmed sheet, it reflects Serge Mendjisky’s painterly approach to printmaking. A Paris-born artist associated with postwar European modernism, Mendjisky brought a distinctly expressive, color-driven sensibility to his work, making this piece both a study in motion and a refined example of late 20th-century lithographic practice.
