Drypoint on Aluminumplate // This drypoint print on an aluminum plate measures 50 x 68 cm and features an intricate composition of overlapping lines that form a dense, central core. Rainer's characteristic use of chaotic, expressive mark-making creates a dynamic and seemingly infinite "cosmic" structure, rendered in deep violet. The radiating lines evoke energy and motion, giving the impression of an explosion or a gravitational pull within an abstract space. The title Kosmos II (Cosmos II) suggests a fascination with the vastness of the universe and its mysteries, expressed through the layered, almost frenetic linework. As part of an edition of 40, this work reflects Rainer’s mastery in combining precision and spontaneity within the medium of drypoint.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
