About the Item
A double sided work of two abstract expressionist monotypes on hand-made paper from an original work by Martin Engelman. The paper has one monotype to each side. See photos. The works are not signed.
Two monotypes on one piece of hand-made paper. Both abstract expressionist in style, one, highly colourful in strong primary colours and clearly delineated whilst the other displaying more sombre and moody, dreamy tones.
Martin Engelman was born in Holland in 1924. Studied at the School of Graphic Arts in Amsterdam and at the School of Applied Arts in Maastricht. During the war, he joined the Dutch Navy in England.
In 1947, Engelman settled in Paris. He became Cassandre's assistant and worked at the same time creating typefaces for Deberny and Peignot. In 1954, he left Paris for Milan where he worked as a "designer" for three years.
In 1957, back in Paris, he collaborated with Darthea Speyer who directed the exhibitions of the American Cultural Center. At the same time, he made the decision to devote himself to painting, and it was in Paris, in 1960, that he had his first personal exhibition.
In 1964, he was invited to Kassel to participate in Documenta III, then the Stedelijk Museum devoted an exhibition to him in 1965. He then went to the United States. He stayed and painted in New York for a few months before embarking on a long trip to Mexico. At the end of 1967, Martin Engelman was invited by the Hamburg Academy where he taught for six months.
In 1968, he received the 1st Graphic Arts Prize at the International Festival of Holland. In 1969 he obtained the D.A.A.D. in Berlin. In 1970, he was appointed professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin. Martin Engelman died in 1992.
A monotype is a unique print, typically painterly in effect, made by applying paint or printing ink to a flat sheet of metal, glass, or plastic. The painted image is transferred to paper either by manually rubbing or using a press.

- 'Danse Squelettes'. Abstract Expressionist Montage and Acrylic on Flour Sack.By Armand AvrilLocated in Cotignac, FRAbstract Expressionist mixed media montage titled 'Danse Squelettes' by French artist Armand Avril, signed and dated 2002 bottom centre and signed, dated and titled with explanation of the inspiration of this piece to the reverse. Avril's inspiration here is drawn from an exhibition in the Grand Palais de Paris called, 'la mort n'en saura rien' in 1999/2000 in which works come together from across four continents to explore man's differing perspectives on death in different cultures. As always this mixed-media is created with the humour and joy and abandon that the artist puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image. This montage is made on a flour sack with applied cardboard and acrylic paint. The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out to around 1.5cm from the frame. The piece includes the artist's favourite motifs of cats and skulls. Avril's work will always make you smile and has great energy. Armand Avril was born in 1926 in Lyon. His father, Marcel Avril, was a painter and collector of African art. At 16 Armand became an apprentice shepherd in Provence. Avril could always be seen equipped with a sketchbook and a book on the history of art whilst tending his flock. It was not until the age of 30, in 1956, that Armand embarked on painting as an autodidact, influenced by Raoul Dufy, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and the Lyonnaise School of Painting. He exhibited for the first time in 1957. In 1960, he left for a one-year trip to Africa. There he met the painter Jean Arène who introduced him to the village of Cotignac in the Var and to Louis Pons...Category
