We bought these two prints by Branko Modic in Split in one of the shops in the castle at the Riva. They are dry points which means they are made by rubbing inks on hand-engraved copper plates and hand pressing them on thick homemade paper.
Although these prints included a card with a web site (brankomodic.com) when we went to the site it was some type of medical equipment. We've tried to find out more information about Modic without any success. See update on web site in comments below.
Both of our prints are signed and each have an embossed symbol that authenticates they are by Modic.
We noticed after we got home that this print has small "water spots" on it. We didn't notice this when we bought the print, and since it was completely protected in plastic, we assume that it was purposely spotted for effect, but we are unsure. If anyone who reads this has insight into the water spotting, please leave a comment!
If you click on the prints they will enlarge so you can see the detail.
