Aphrodite’s Cup is a series of 24 three-colour lino-cuts (sienna, grey and black) made by Georges Kuthan two years before his death. In a simple, almost näive, style they show the tender lovemaking of a classic young couple depicted in the style of ancient Greco-Roman pottery; the simplicity of the artistic narrative only adds to the erotic tension of the series. There is no text.


Aphrodite’s Cup was published in a limited numbered edition of 275 copies by the Honeysuckle Press of North Vancouver.
