Dennis Hawkins (British, 1925-2001). "De Cabeza" serigraph in colors, 1969. Edition 25 of 75. Signature, title, date, and edition number handwritten in pencil at center left and right. A striking mid-century serigraph in colors by British artist Dennis Hawkins. The composition of "De Cabeza" (Upside Down in English) features a wonderful ensemble of geometric shapes - squares, circles, and rectangles - arranged in a manner that plays with interpretations of its title "De Cabeza" meaning "Upside Down". Perhaps Hawkins has reversed the upper and lower parts or mixed them up in a topsy turvy fashion. Size (serigraph): 30.75" L x 22.75" W (78.1 cm x 57.8 cm) Size (frame): 39.625" L x 31.625" W (100.6 cm x 80.3 cm)
