ABSTRACT COMPOSITION JACK. VLADIMIR NEMUKHIN. 1969

A striking abstract composition titled Jack by the prominent Russian artist Vladimir Nemukhin (1925–2016), executed in 1969 in tempera on paper. The central figure, associated with the playing card jack, is interpreted as a metaphor for a character caught in a web of political and personal dynamics. A stylized figure with a blue face, red cap, and a suit composed of brushstrokes, formulas, and graphic marks dominates the scene. Despite its seemingly chaotic form, the composition is deliberately structured and filled with philosophical depth.

The title Jack is recorded in the official catalogue of the 1971 exhibition in Copenhagen (Knægt — Danish for Jack). The artists signature appears at the lower left: Vl. Nemukhin 69.

Framed in the original exhibition mount under glass.
