About the Item

Signed lower right 'Engel G' for Irma Engel Grabhorn (American, 1908-2003), titled 'Venezia IT' and dated 1961. Born in Badenweiler, Irma Leisinger first studied in Paris with Andre Lhote from 1926. In 1930, she entered the Berlin Academy and continued her studies with Carl Hofer. With her first husband, Samuel Engel, she settled in San Francisco in 1939 and, after his death, married the fine arts printer, Edward Grabhorn. Over the course of a long career, Engel was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards.
