After Karel Appel (1921 - 2006) 'Savage Expressionist', 1994 Lithograph in colours on Arches paper Signed in the stone by the artist and by Phillipe de Rothschild. Around the image and text is an indented section made by a machine. The image by Appel depicts a pair of drinkers performing a wild dance around a totem bottle, as if to liberate the spirit of the wine still imprisoned within. Note: To commemorate the Allied victory in 1945, Baron Phillipe de Rothschild had the idea of embellishing the Mouton Rothschild label with art. Each year a famous painter was asked to produce a design for a label and this custom lasted from 1945 until today. The label design was incorporated into a poster to advertise the wine and this is an example of one of these attractive and well made pieces. ARR charges may be applicable.
