About the Item
Stunning original project drawings, hand-painted with colored pencil on translucent tracing paper by a French artist, circa 1960. The two paintings feature a geometric study in color variations of a skinny man and a curvy woman. There is no visible artist signature.
These two unique drawings were purchased in France in 2005 in auctions in an important portfolio of sketches, all on tracing paper, with black pencils, and some with colored pencils. The portfolio was dated from 1963 to 1968.
These surreal designs use a repetitive geometric shape with gradient colors that characterize a subtle play of shapes and tones.
The goal of this study's aesthetic investigation with color alternation is to attain the ideal balance between form and color to create joy.
The palette is bright, the geometry dominates, and the colors are juxtaposed to underline the rigor.
The artwork is framed in a modern black wood frame with gray and black matte and glass protection.
Measurements:
Overall: 12.82 in wide (32.5 cm) x 17.75 in high (45 cm).
The opening view for each drawing is 6.69 in wide (17 cm) x 4.94 in high (12.5 cm).

German Neo Expressionist Color Pencil Drawing Erwin Pfrang
Located in Surfside, FL
Erwin Pfrang, German (b. 1951)
Graphite, Colored Pencil on paper
Framed 20.5/8 X 16.5/8 sheet 6 X 7.75
Erwin Pfrang (born 1951, in Munich) is a German painter and printmaker.
Pfrang studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1974–79. Later he spent many years as an independent artist in Montepulciano, Val d’Orcia and Catania, Italy, interrupted by stays in Munich and Augsburg. He presently lives and works in Berlin. Erwin Pfrang is the grandson of the Munich folk comedian Konstantin Pfrang.
Carla Schulz-Hoffmann makes an attempt at characterising the painter: “An artist such as Erwin Pfrang inhabits an alternative world, a tiny microcosm of subjectivity, and lives that life uncompromisingly, with all the limitations and hardships that it entails. Among twentieth-century artists a comparable stance can be encountered perhaps in Jean Fautrier, but certainly in Otto Wols. His oeuvre relates in its figuration to Bosch or James Ensor and his oil painting to Lucian Freud in its painterly quality. Erwin Pfrang is represented by gallerists Fred Jahn, Munich (Exhibition: Don’t Forget Your Mask: Don’t (Part I: Don’t Forget Your Mask), Forget (Part II: Don’t Forget Your Mask), Your Mask (Part III: Don’t Forget Your Mask)Artists: Imi Knoebel, Barry Le Va, Karel Appel, Alexi Tsioris, William N. Copley, Isa Genzken...
