Orgy is a beautiful black and white linocut on paper, realized in 1945 by the Italian artist Mino Maccari. Hand-signed with the pseudonym "Jean Barbe" and numbered in pencil on the lower margin. Edition of 300 prints. A wonderful plate, from the print suite On s'amuse: 16 gravures en bois par Jean Barbe published by Documento, Rome. This original print, representing a wild erotic scene with a very good inking, is in excellent conditions: as good as new with a lifetime impression and a fresh line. A white cardboard passepartout is included (49 x 34 cm). In 1945, Mino Maccari published a folder containing 16 linoleums with a strongly erotic subject matter, titled On s' amuse!. Because of the scandalous subject for the time, he signed with the pseudonym of Jean Barbe. The circulation is of 300 copies, 40 "before letter", numbered in Roman numerals, hand-painted by Maccari himself and signed by him "J.B." Reference: Francesco Meloni, Mino Maccari: reasoned catalog of engravings. Milan: Electa, 1979.
21x15.2 (foglio), 49 x 34 (passepartout)
