Exlibris of U.Stepanov 1979

Oleksandr Aksinin’s 1979 "Exlibris of U.Stepanov" is a striking example of an exlibris, a small, engraved bookplate used to mark ownership. The print features a complex geometric design with an oval frame and a prominent triangular motif. The central image portrays a dense cluster of small, stylized forms, potentially representing an abstract concept or a specific subject related to the owner, U. Stepanov. Aksinin, a Ukrainian artist, is known for his intricate, often surreal works, and this piece exemplifies his mastery of detail and geometric composition.
