Vintage mid 20th century black and white lithograph on paper by Edward Marecak. The Argument for Athens, based on ancient Greek mythology, depicts three figures: Athena, Zeus and Poseidon following the contest for Athens. The figure of a woman, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, handicraft, practical reason and the protector of Athens (following her victory over Poseidon). Athena is holding an owl symbolizing wisdom. Alongside Athena stand two nude male figures. The central male and Athena's father, Zeus, has his arms around Athena and Poseidon. On the right, Poseidon, god of the sea, offers a fish to Athena with additional fish speared on his trident. The fine art print is signed, titled and numbered 5/8 in pencil by the artist. Number 5 in an edition of 8 prints. Unframed, custom framing options available.
