An abstract interplay of geometric shapes and bold colors forms a striking visual composition. Dominated by deep purples and vivid pinks, the design features a mix of rectangles, triangles, and circular forms in shades of orange, white, and red. The shapes intersect and overlap, creating a sense of movement and depth. Each element is carefully balanced, contributing to a dynamic yet harmonious arrangement that draws the eye and sparks the imagination with its modern, playful energy.
This original, one-of-a-kind, mid-century master silkscreen strike off, crafted by Vera Neumann in collaboration with designers and artists such as Perry Ellis and Walter Erhard, embodies a narrative-rich artwork. It transcends the traditional role of art as a mere wall decoration, serving as a foundational element for fashion designs, sportswear, housewares, and a plethora of other remarkable creations throughout Vera's illustrious career. Many of these strike offs bear the marks of Vera and her colleagues, evidencing the meticulous process of refining color and design. This piece poignantly narrates the journey of Vera's original artwork, from sketch to painting, from conceptual design to strike off, and finally to manufacturing. It stands as a testament to a bygone era in the fashion and design industry, preserving a historical technique that is nearly lost in contemporary practices.
