The lithograph 'Portrait of a Head in Color' by Horst Antes is a 1970s work, number 35 from a limited edition of 85 prints. Presented in a simple, natural wood frame with glass and an off-white passe-partout, the composition features a stylized head rendered in sharp geometric lines and organic curves—signatures of the artist’s distinctive style. The palette is dominated by warm peach and beige tones in the background, contrasted with bold accents of deep blue, olive green, and cream, creating a multicolored, camouflaged effect. The matte finish and the modernist, postwar German sensibility of the 1970s are evident in the synthetic form. The artwork remains in good vintage condition: the paper shows subtle signs of age and light patina, the frame displays minor scuffs, especially at the corners, but remains structurally sound. Below the image are the artist’s handwritten signature, title, and edition number. Antes’s work speaks in the language of postwar European avant-garde: expressive yet restrained, the form evokes the spirit of the 1970s, a time when abstraction and figuration intertwined in the search for new artistic expression. The geometric portrait becomes a mask of the era, balancing between recognizability and symbolic reduction. Matte surfaces and cool tones do not seek to dazzle but instead invite reflection on identity and the shifting visual sensibilities of the time. This piece tells the story of an era when the boundary between personal art and social commentary was especially fluid. This lithograph is well suited for a living room or study with a modernist or eclectic aesthetic. It can be
