Darkly humorous, this unframed and shrinkwrapped 1986 "Who Says You Can't Change Your Mind" lithograph is signed in pencil by artist Jan Balet (1913-2009) and numbered 65 of 300. Blithely stepping forward into another man's arms, a bride leaves a stabbed groom in the blue shadows. Measures: board 38" W x 30" H, litho with corner protectors: 30" W x 22" H, and image area 23.5" W x 19.5" H. Foamboard has bumped edges, but the lithograph has no creases or damage. Born in Germany, the whimsical Jan Balet worked as a successful commercial artist and illustrator in New York City for 25 years. He returned to Germany and eventually Switzerland to center on Inner worlds, bringing social engagement, relationships and states of mind into his inviting paintings and prints.
