Euripides/Medea 1964

Imre Reiner’s 1964 print, *Euripides/Medea*, depicts the titular character from the Greek tragedy in a highly stylized manner. The image focuses on Medea's enraged expression and the abstract forms that surround her. The artist uses minimal lines to create a sense of urgency and emotional turmoil. Reiner was known for his use of expressive lines and a dark, expressive style that is evident in this work. The use of black ink on paper creates a stark and dramatic contrast, highlighting the intensity of the moment. This print is a powerful example of Reiner's unique artistic vision and the lasting impact of the classical Greek tragedy.
