David Salle Editions
Theme for an Aztec Moralist
1983
Suite of six lithographs on Arches 350g rag paper, 117 x 86.5 cm. Edition: 40 (+ 10 A.P.), each signed and numbered.
In this edition, David Salle brings together six richly layered lithographs that exemplify his distinctive, collage-like visual language. Each print interweaves fragmented figures, overlapping gestures, and shifting perspectives, creating a dynamic network of images that feel simultaneously spontaneous and deliberately orchestrated. Salle’s characteristic interplay of drawing and printed imagery – here punctuated by sharply defined photographic inserts – introduces moments of focus within the surrounding flux of line and color. Published in 1983, this series captures the artist’s ongoing exploration of narrative ambiguity, cultural reference, and the tension between intimacy and detachment, offering six variations on a visual world that is both enigmatic and deeply expressive.
