Stolt (Embracing Figures in Silhouette)" is printed upon thin laid paper and with full margins as published by the Czech artist in 1973.

This particular linocut is printed in black and the embracing figures are portrayed in silhouette. It is a fine, original example of the ex libris bookplate art created by the Czechoslovakian artist, Ladislav Rusek. |
| Title: | Ex-Libris Eroticis Lars C. Stolt (Embracing Figures in Silhouette) |
| Artist: | Rusek, Ladislav (Czech Republic, Born, Olomouce) |
| Date: | 1973 |
| Medium: | Original Linocut |
| Source: | Ex-Libris Bookplates |
| Note: | Ladislav Rusek: A contemporary Czech printmaker and painter, Ladislav Rusek is well known both for his Ex-Libris art and for his illustrations of books. In the latter category he has illustrated such books as Griechische Erinnerungen (1972). Also a comprehensive book on Ladislav Rusek's art was written by Klaus Rodel in 1971 entitled, Ladislav Rusek: En czekkisk grafiker. "Ex-Libris Eroticis" is a striking, original example of the ex libris bookplate art created by the artist in 1973. Printed in black, Rusek's linocut depicts a couple embracing portrayed in silhouette. |
| Lars C. Stolt: Born in Stockholm, Sweden, 1932, Lars C. Stolt was an expert on heraldry, military music, a major bookplate collector, and the author of such books as, "Ordenssymbolik i Exlibris (1983), "Ex Libris Artists in Sweden" (1988), "Under skilda Fanor: Politisk Belastad Marschmusik och Forbjudna Marscher: en Sociomusikalisk Studie" (1999), and "Heraldik pa Flygpian" (2002), "Forbimarsch i Parad" (2010) and others. He was also president of the Swedish Ex Libris Association for many years and was awarded the 'Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks diploma of excellency' for his extensive and most outstanding collection of ex libris bookplates, many of which were commissioned by him. Such is the case with this original linocut entitled, "Ex-Libris Eroticis Lars C. Stolt" which was created by the Czech artist, Ladislav Rusek. In this particular linocut the embracing figures are beautifully depicted in silhouette printed in black ink. It is a fine, original example of the ex libris bookplate art created by the Czechoslovakian artist, Ladislav Rusek. | |
| Ex-Libris etchings, engravings and woodcuts date all the way back to the mid fifteenth century. Their function was initially quite utilitarian as miniature prints used to signify the ownership of books. As private libraries and their owners gained more wealth and prestige, however, so did their ex-libris bookplates. Pictorial imagery became as important as the wording and titles and the finished work of art came to stand as the owner's claim to posterity. Before long, famous artists were commissioned by prominent collectors to make their ex-libris art and during the centuries such masters as Durer, Holbein, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec and Rockwell Kent all contributed significantly to this great form of art. | |
| The golden age for the ex-libris print, however, began during the early twentieth century and continues to this day. In the Art Deco decades of the 1920's and 1930's the collecting of ex-libris etchings, linocuts and wood engravings reached such a peak that many artists in Europe and America devoted themselves almost exclusively to this area. In France, Henri Berengier and Valentin Le Campion gained an international reputation for their ex-libris art and were constantly commissioned by book collectors around the world. In our times many prominent artists have distinguished themselves in this field, such as Antonio Grimaldi (Italy), Frank Ivo Van Damme (Belgium), Masao Ohba (Japan), Ladislav Rusek (Czech Republic), David Bekker (Ukraine) and Anneke Kuyper (Holland). And during this era as well erotic subjects have become a major genre of Ex-Libris artists. | |
