About the artist.
Georg Maximilian Rauch was born in Salzburg in 1924, but spent his early years in Vienna, surrounded by the paintings of Klimt and Schiele. The latter artist would become a strong influence on Georg’s style and paintings. Though Georg was partly Jewish and his mother was hiding Jews behind false walls in their Vienna apartment, Rauch was nonetheless drafted into Hitler’s army and sent to the Russian trenches. In 1944 he was captured by the Russians in Romania, and force-marched to the Ukraine. Post-war he studied architecture and drawing with Professor Boeckl at the Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste in Vienna.
Finally, at 26 years old, Georg was free to paint and this he did with a vengeance. His primary theme was sad looking men, or harlequins. His friends all said, “Why that’s you!” He strenuously denied this and continued with the same theme for ten years. He finally was done and also recognized that his friends had been correct. That these first paintings had served as a catharsis, as unconscious auto-therapy for all that he had experienced during the war; the shame, grief, fear, horror.
After crossing the ocean in 1966 Georg’s expressionistic style changed for a few years and his paintings became more hard edge while living in New York. He and his American wife, Phyllis, moved permanently to Mexico in 1976. There, inspired by the colors, landscapes, trees, and his own love for the country, his paintings acquired new themes, including multi-colored mountain landscapes, trees (especially red ones) fantasy architecture or “dream houses”, chairs of all kinds, and flowers. The last year of his life finally saw the publication of his WWII memoir, first titled: The Jew with the Iron Cross-, A Record of Survival in WWII Russia. In 2014 Farrar, Strous and Giroux published the “official version” entitled Unlikely Warrior, A Jew in Hitler’s Army.
As a young artist he was awarded the Theodor Koerner Prize for a paper he wrote on the theory of color. Paintings of his are included in all of the major museums of Vienna – city, state, Albertina. Georg Rauch died in Jocotepec, Mexico in 2006.

- LilyBy Lowell NesbittLocated in San Francisco, CAThis artwork "Lily" C.1975 is an original colors serigraph by noted American artist Lowell Nesbitt, 1933-1993. It is hand signed, dated and numbered A.P. 6/30 in pencil by the artist. The image size is 23.75 x 26 inches, sheet size is 29.35 x 31.25 inches. It is in excellent condition, it has a very light printing ink soiling at the left margin, see picture #6 and a light crease at the lower center margin. About the artist: Lowell Nesbitt, who was born in Baltimore on Oct. 4, 1933, was a graduate of the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia and also attended the Royal College of Art in London, where he worked in stained glass & etching. In 1964, the Corcoran Gallery or Art in Washington gave him one of his first museum exhibitions, and by the mid 1970's he had decided to leave the museum a bequest of more than $1 million. But in 1989, he publicly revoked the bequest after the Corcoran canceled a disputed exhibition of photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe, who was an old friend. Mr. Nesbitt named the Phillips Collection as a beneficiary instead. He was frequently grouped with the Photo Realists, but his images were more interpretively distorted, somewhat loosely painted and boldly abbreviated. He had many subjects: studio interiors, articles of clothing, piles of shoes and groupings of fruits and vegetables. He also painted his dog, a Rottweiler named Echo, the Neoclassical facades of SoHo's 19th century cast-iron buildings and several of Manhattan's major bridges. Despite such variety, Lowell Nesbitt was best known for gargantuan images or irises, roses, lilies and other flowers, which he often depicted in close up so that their petals seemed to fill the canvas. Dramatic, implicitly sexual and a little ominous, they earned the artist a popularity with the general public that tended to overshadow his reputation within the art world. In 1980, the United States Postal Service issued four stamps based on Mr. Nesbitt's floral paintings. He also served as the official artist for the space flights of Apollo 9 and Apollo 13.
