Remo Rossi Clowns & Horse Lithograph Signed & Numbered 65/150 Swiss Modernist

Clowns et Cheval (Horse and Rider)
Mid-20th Century
This original lithograph by Remo Rossi (Swiss, 1909–1982) depicts a stylized horse with clown-like figures, a dynamic and expressive composition characteristic of the artist’s modernist vision. Executed in bold angular forms and a restrained palette of blue, gray, black, and ochre, the work conveys movement, tension, and theatricality—recurring themes in Rossi’s oeuvre.
Primarily known as a sculptor, Rossi successfully translated his sculptural language into works on paper, emphasizing structure, balance, and expressive abstraction. Clowns et Cheval (Horse and Rider) exemplifies this approach, merging figurative subject matter with a distinctly modern aesthetic.
The lithograph is pencil signed on the front and numbered 65/150, indicating a limited edition. It is a strong example of Rossi’s graphic work and an appealing acquisition for collectors of Swiss modernism, postwar European art, and figurative abstraction.
