Plate IV from the portfolio Vulcanologies 1970

"Plate IV from the portfolio Vulcanologies" is a 1970 lithograph by Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky. The artwork is known for its bold use of color and gestural line work, characteristic of Alechinsky's style. The image is divided into two panels, the top panel features a cartoonish figure with a prominent nose, while the lower panel depicts a fantastical creature in a landscape setting. The work is a prime example of Alechinsky's interest in exploring themes of mythology and the human condition through abstract and often humorous forms.
