1957

About the Item

Small vintage hand signed and dated graphic. limited edition. Erling Jørgensen, 1905-1977 Born in Denmark, self taught artist. painter and graphic. print-maker. Danish painter and graphic artist. Jørgensen was autodidact and painted first in a naturalist style, but inspired by the Cobra painters, Svavar Gudnason and others, he gradually developed a fabulous style of abstract expressionism. For example, his contribution to the decoration of Bregnerødhytten (1949, now Sophienholm) and Painting (1966, Nordjyllands Kunstmuseum). Jørgensen was co-founder and member of the Spiral from 1947, of PRO 1964-66 and of the Colorists from 1967. He received the Eckersberg Medal in 1970. He worked in an Abstract Expressionist style infused with bold colors. known for his silkscreen, lithograph and serigraph works. Erling Jørgensen adapted in early 1940, after preliminary experiments in light naturalist style, the ruling abstract form of the time with emphasis on the colouristic expression. The early images feature a detail of abstract elements and organic shapes, often with surrealist undertones. The color is applied with dense pastes, which make the whole appear as a color-saturated substance with a plastic character. Over time, the compositions simplify into a clearer and more stringent form, sometimes composed of fewer elements and in a clean and clear color scheme. The character of these images alternates between the spontaneously abstract, mastery, geometric floral painting and vitality of the kaleidoscopic pattern images. In connection with the Cobra group's meetings, he participated in the decoration of the lofty areas in the Bregnerød cabin (now on Sophienholm). He was a member of the Spiralen Association of Artists, which in the 1950s was a gathering place for a number of individualistic painters. Travels, trips to Paris, South France and Amsterdam.

    By Konrad Cramer
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Konrad Cramer, 1888-1963 was a painter, photographer, printer, and illustrator. Based in the fertile Woodstock, New York, artistic community along with Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Russell Lee, Cramer was both educator and artist. He ran a summer school for miniature camera photography in the 1930s and later taught one of the first American college courses in photography at Bard College. Although he began as a painter of abstract, geometric forms in bold colors, Cramer is most known as a photographer. Konrad Cramer was born and raised in Wurzburg, Germany. Cramer studied to be an artist at the Karlsruhe Academy under Ludwig Schmidt-Reutte and Ernest Schurth. He became interested in the German avant-garde early in his schooling, he was a member of the Blaue Reiter, exposed and encouraged by the experimental works of Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc. An additional influence on Cramer's artistic development was the Cubist landscapes of Paul Cézanne. Florence Ballin Cramer opened a gallery on 57th Street in 1919, encouraged by the sculptor Elie Nadelman. Florence Gallery exhibited and sold the works of living artists. Although it only survived briefly, it was the first New York gallery to show works by Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Alexander Brook, Ernest Fiene, and Stefan Hirsch. Cramer then settled with his wife in Woodstock, New York, where Ballin had painted with the Art Students League each summer since 1906. Cramer established a reputation as one of Woodstock's most modern painters with an impressive series of abstract paintings exhibited at the MacDowell Club in 1913. In the 1920s Cramer developed a personal representational style which blended modern and regional influences. Cramer received a Rockefeller grant in 1920 to study educational methods for craftsmen in Germany and France. In 1922 he took a teaching position at the Woodstock School of Painting and helped establish the Woodstock Artists Association, where he served as a director. While teaching and painting, Cramer also applied his artistic talent to illustration and textile design. Konrad Cramer first exhibited at the Whitney Studio Club in 1924 and participated in the Whitney Museum of American Art's first and second biennials in 1933 and 1935. He was also included in the 1935 exhibition Abstract Painting in America at the Whitney. Cramer was later included in the Whitney Museum exhibition Pioneers of Modern Art in America in 1946. In the 1930s Cramer participated in many other museum invitationals, including: the Carnegie International (1929, 1933, 1937, 1938); the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1934, 1936), and the Corcoran Gallery of Art (1935, 1937). In 1934 Konrad Cramer and his wife travelled to Mexico where they produced many paintings and drawings. Back in Woodstock in 1935, Cramer briefly joined the (WPA) Federal Art Project, administering the regional program in Woodstock. In the mid-1930s Cramer took up photography to clarify aesthetic issues in his painting. Cramer had gotten to know Alfred Stieglitz upon his arrival in America in 1911 and wrote an essay about 291 Gallery for Stieglitz's magazine Camera Work in 1914. Through Stieglitz and then in the 1930s fellow Woodstockers like Russell Lee, Cramer became interested in the possibilities of photography and began working with it as an artistic medium. In the 1950s Cramer collaborated on a traveling exhibition and book of abstract photographs with Manuel Komroff...
