Exlibris of Mariyka Schur 1981

This 1981 engraving by Oleksandr Aksinin, titled "Exlibris of Mariyka Schur", is a striking example of the artist's unique style. The image depicts a series of stacked, circular objects, perhaps representing a fantastical contraption, within an oval frame. The intricate detail and use of hatching, creating a sense of depth and texture, are characteristic of Aksinin's work. The artist, known for his darkly humorous and often surreal imagery, is thought to have explored themes of human perception and identity in his art. This exlibris, a bookplate designed for Mariyka Schur, would have been placed in her books as a personal mark of ownership.
