Jiří Anderle (1936) ELISE HÖFER

Elise Höfer was a Viennese stage artist—an actress from the Biedermeier period—whose portrait was painted by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller. In this print, Jiří Anderle evokes the inexorability of time, depicting on paper an encounter between the young actress and her older self. The composition is accentuated by a perforated printing plate.
