Irene JONAS (1957) - Lot 123

Irene JONAS (1957) Un été sans fin N°18 Unique work, signed and numbered 1/1 Black and white print on baryta paper enhanced with oil paint. Note: A contemporary photographic work by Irène Jonas, an artist renowned for her poetic, timeless universe where photography dialogues with painting. Through the series Un été sans fin, she develops a soft, nostalgic aesthetic, marked by a particular attention to light and memory. The print on baryta paper, the noble medium of silver photography, is here enriched by a pictorial intervention in oil paint, giving the work a hybrid character, on the borderline between photography and painting. The uniqueness of the piece, attested by the 1/1 numbering and the artist's signature, is a decisive factor in its authenticity and value on the contemporary art market.
