Ernst Neizvestny – To Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, Dedicated (from the portfolio Hommage aux Prix Nobel) (1974)
This original etching by the renowned artist Ernst Neizvestny is a part of the highly sought-after portfolio Hommage aux Prix Nobel, published by the prestigious Börjeson Gallery in 1974. Dedicated to Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, this work honors the legendary Russian physiologist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1904 for his groundbreaking research on the physiology of digestion.
Pavlov is best known for his discovery of classical conditioning, famously demonstrated through his experiments with dogs, where he observed their learned responses to stimuli. His work laid the foundation for modern behavioral psychology and neuroscience.
Neizvestny, celebrated for his powerful and expressive style, masterfully captures the essence of Pavlov’s legacy in this rare etching. As an HC (Hors Commerce) edition, this piece is even more exclusive, making it a valuable acquisition for collectors and connoisseurs of both art and science.
