Johfra Bosschart 1919 - 1998 'the Androgyne' 1949 Panel

Johfra Bosschart 1919 - 1998. You can view all of his work on Artprice. This is the finest discovery of this artist on the art market in a long time: a work by Johfra Bosschart (1919-1998), a Dutch metaphysical painter, depicting an androgynous figure in an inner state of mind, exploring the search for self and the transformation of the female and male body towards the 'Rebis' (the Alchemy of Perfection). It explores how to transform animalistic man and feminine passion into a single idealized body in a perfect new world (man and woman give birth together in one body, a new child). It represents the alchemical principle of lead transformed into gold (the new humanity without sex and therefore without duality; vanity evaporates). Oil on panel, dated 1949. Condition: unrestored. Dimensions: 85 cm x 60 cm (excluding frame). A masterpiece for a collector of esoteric art. Better photos coming soon. But it will be on display this weekend at 'Sablon Antiques Center', 39 Place du Grand Sablon, 1000 Brussels
