About the Item
This stunning charcoal drawing lithograph print on paper depicting a fanciful lion kidnapping a young woman was designed by Adolf Uzarski (1885-1970), a German artist. This drawing is one of five lithographs created to illustrate scenes from the 14th Century Tutinama, a Persian series of 52 stories known as "Tales of the Parrot." The parrot narrates moralistic adventure stories every night for 52 nights, urging its owner to remain faithful to her husband.
The hand-written signature is on the bottom right corner and reads Uzarski - 19.
Contemporary framing with acrylic glass protection.

Note: Adolf Uzarski was a German writer, artist, and illustrator associated with the New Objectivity movement.
He was born in Ruhrort bei Duisburg (1885) and studied at the Cologne School of Architecture before enrolling in 1906 at the Düsseldorf School of Arts and Crafts. Before World War I, he exhibited his art in Berlin and Hagen and also had success as a commercial artist. While directing the advertising department of the Tietz department store in 1916-1917, he produced the portfolio of lithographs, Totentanz (Danse Macabre - Dance of Death). Beginning in 1919, he exhibited with "Das Junge Rheinland" (Young Rhineland), of which he was a founding member. This stylistically diverse group, which included Arthur Kaufmann and Herbert Eulenberg, was united only by their rejection of academic art.
Active as a visual artist and also as a writer of poetry and fiction, Uzarski illustrated his books and those of others. During the Weimar years, he was one of the artists championed by the Düsseldorf art dealer Johanna Ey until a rift between them in 1923, after which Uzarski left the "Young Rhineland" group to form the "Rheingruppe" (Rhine group), with whom he exhibited from 1925 to 1930.
His art was caricatural in style and sharply satirical of the bourgeoisie society. In 1942, the Nazis condemned the artist as degenerate and forbade him from painting. He went into hiding in Robertville, Belgium. At the end of World War II, Uzarski returned to Düsseldorf and continued his career. He was the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Berlin Academy of Arts in 1967.
Adolf Uzarski died in Düsseldorf in 1970.
