Ludwig von Hoffmann
Sur la Grève - Original Lithograph by L. von Hoffmann - 1910 ca.

1910 ca.

About the Item

Sur la Grève is a red lithograph realized by the German artist Ludwig von Hofmann. It was published in the Gazette des Beaux Arts in 1910 (cfr.n. 1910.12 of the catalog Sanchez Seydoux). On the lower left, outside the image, there is the following printed writing “Gazette des Beaux-Arts”. In the center, below the image, “Sur la grève. / lithographie originale de M.L. von Hofmann” is written in the same way. The conditions of the artwork are very good, except for the visible fold along the upper margin of the artwork and another, lighter, along the lower margin due probably to the pression of a frame that used to be mounted on this artwork. Ludwig von Hofmann was a German painter, famous for his paintings and drawings, between the Impressionist and Secession style, and for some decorative cycles. He manifested a talent in the arts and soon left for Berlin, Paris, and Vienna to finish his studies. Thanks to his education, his painting can be defined fully European, oscillating between Impressionism, classicism and strong suggestions of the Viennese Secession and Art Deco that finds in female and male nudes its highest and most sensual expression. This beautiful lithograph represents four female figures at the beach. In the distance, the water of a lake, mountains, and boats. The women have plastic poses and classical attire. The atmosphere is serene and outside of time. The style anticipates the trends of the return to order of 1920s art. This is an interesting, fascinating, and important artwork as testimony of a fundamental transition in the taste and style of 1900 European art. This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the licence according to the final destination of the artwork.

Backyard Garden belongs to the set of twenty lithographs from the “Snatched Ecstasy of Yue Minjun”, which comes as a limited edition of 130 rare books. The work of Yue Minjun is instantly recognizable with its uniform laughing faces, the artist's faces. Minjun creates various realities against which the laughing figures are rendered, thus creating ambiguous images, often with the sinister atmosphere, which comes as his personal cynical reaction to various social and political dimensions of contemporary Chinese realities. Immediately humorous and sympathetic, Yue Minjun’s paintings offer a light-hearted approach to philosophical enquiry and contemplation of existence. Yue’s self-portraits have been describe by theorist Li Xianting as “a self-ironic response to the spiritual vacuum and folly of modern-day China”, thus the acidic tones and commercialized vacuity of his works are used to underscore the insincerity of his figures’ mirth. “Art should be an expression of one's particular feelings and should be direct and deep. So I drew one person, and then added another and another until there were crowds of them. Then I felt my emotions to be fully expressed.„ —Yue Minjun YUE MINJUN Yue Min-Jun (born 1962, Daqing, China) is one of the leading Chinese artists. He is best known for oil paintings depicting formations of his laughing self-portraits in various settings. His iconography is easily recognisable, it challenges social and cultural conventions by depicting objects and political issues in a radical, abstract, ironic and cynical manner. Yue Min-Jun initially started painting as a hobby, subsequently he graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Hebei Normal University, China in 1985. In the 90s he joined an artist community in Yuan Ming...
