Exlibris of Y.Niroda 1976

"Exlibris of Y. Niroda" is a 1976 black and white engraving by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Aksinin. The detailed work depicts a complex, cubist-inspired structure with various objects and figures. A central figure, presumably Y. Niroda, stands beside a "TEATP" (theater) box. Surrounding them are other objects such as a ladder, a wheel, a drum, and a series of implements. The work is characterized by intricate detail and a sense of both mystery and humor, typical of Aksinin's style. Exlibris, or bookplates, are often commissioned by collectors, and this work likely served as a personal mark for Niroda's books.
