Canal II (1989)

Maurice Pasternak usually creates surreal landscapes that include traditional male images along a canal. However, this traditional imagery is not organized or presented in a way that makes literal sense of the scene. This is a very rare color mezzotint created in a small edition of IX.   Maurice Pasternak (Belgian, b. 1946) Maurice Pasternak was born in 1946 in Brussels and pursued the study of art from 1963 – 1968 at ENSAV, Belgium’s national academy for the training of students with superior artistic ability. Since graduation, he has engaged in the creation of drawings, pastels and mezzotints.
