About the Item

"Three Seated Figures- Women (Frauen)" is an original lithograph from the "South Sea (Sudsee)" series by Max Pechstein. This lithograph depicts three figures created with black lines and is signed in the lower right. Cat. Red. Gunter Kruger L343, Reisebilder 37 (page 258) Artwork Size: 7 1/2" x 5 3/4" Frame Size: 17 1/2" x 20 1/2" Artist Bio: Hermann Max Pechstein began his career as an apprentice to a decorative painter from Zwickau, Germany, the town where he was born. In 1903, he enrolled in the Dresden Academy, and in 1906, he graduated with top honors and won a scholarship to study in Italy. On his return from Paris, he befriended the Dutch Fauvist painter Kees Van Dongen. In 1906 he joined Die Brucke, ("the bridge" -- a German art movement), and was their only member with a formal art education. In 1910 he moved permanently to Berlin where he was elected president of the Neue Secession. He exhibited at the Berlin Secession in 1912 and was therefore expelled from Die Brucke for having broken their rule of only exhibiting together. Pechstein produced 850 prints -- 390 lithographs, 290 woodcuts, and 170 etchings. In the early years, Pechstein only printed in very small editions. His often irregular rolling technique resulted in subtle differences between prints, and he also liked to experiment with different colored papers and inks, as well as going back into black and white prints with watercolor.

    This is from a hand signed, limited edition (edition of 125) folio or full page lithographs some having a poem verso. The individual sheets are not signed or numbered. This listing is just for the one sheet, not for the cover sheet or the signed sheet. This was printed at Mourlot in Paris, France, on velin D'Arches paper. Apel les Fenosa i Florensa (1899 - 1989) lived in Spain. Apelles Fenosa is known for Expressionist Sculpture. Artist's alternative names: Apel·les Fenosa, Apelles Fenosa Spanish Sculptor Fenosa was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1899 and as a young man worked in the studio of sculptor Enrique Casanovas where he came into contact with the ideas and adherents of the Modernist Movement and its influence in Barcelona, Paris and other European cities. In 1917 he founded together with Joan Rebull, Josep Granyer and Josep Viladomat the group The Evolutionists. He arrived in Paris in 1921. There he quickly gravitated into the Parisian avant garde artist community and became friends with Pablo Picasso, who became an early patron of his work, buying a significant number of his sculptures, and with the sculptor Max Jacob. By 1924 Fenosa was exhibiting in Paris and in his native city of Barcelona. Max Jacob wrote the preface to the catalogs of Fenosa's first Paris exhibition, and his show at the Zborowski gallery in 1928. In 1931 Fenosa was in Catalonia when the Second Spanish Republic was declared. There he remained in order to work with the anarchist movement and participate in the Republican ranks during the Spanish Civil War. He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1936 and with the coming to power of the Franco Fascist regime left Spain once again to settle in Paris. In 1942, he met the painter and poet, Paul Eluard, who became a close friend. In 1944, the Comite de Liberation du Limousin (Organization for the Liberation of the Limousin) commissions a sculpture to commemorate the Nazi killings of Oradour-sur-Glane. He creates the "Monument aux Martyrs d'Oradour-sur-Glane" (Monument to the Martyrs of Oradour) presently in Limoges. From 1946 Fenosa exhibited individually or collectively in Paris, London, Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Prague, New York, Tokyo, Rabat, Osaka, Casablanca, Carrara. His personal exhibition catalogs are prefaced by the most famous writers and poets of his time, including Paul Eluard, Jean Cocteau, Jules Supervielle, Josep Carner, Alexandre Cirici-Pellicer, Francis Ponge, Pablo Neruda, Michel Cournot, Roger Caillois, Salvador Espriu. He was part of a generation of Spanish and Catalan artists that included Jose Amat Pages, Ramon Pichot, Alfredo Opisso Cardona, Ramon Aguilar More, Juan Cardona Llados, Josep Miquel Serrano, Ignacio Zuloaga Y Zabaleta, Andre Beaudin, Francisco Domingo Y Segura, Jose Armet Y Portanel, Jose Ventosa Domenech, Antonio Vila Arrufat, Montserrat Gudiol...
