About the Item

Silkscreen serigraph Op art print. Luitpold Domberger (1912-2005 ) was a pioneer of artistic screen printing in Germany. Luitpold (Poldi) Domberger studied from 1928 at the art and trade school in Pforzheim, where he then worked as a freelance commercial artist before moving to Stuttgart in the mid-1930s. At the end of the 1940s he came into contact with the new medium of screen printing through a visit to an exhibition in the Amerikahaus in Stuttgart. He set up his first screen printing workshop in 1949 at Gänsheidestrasse 26 in Stuttgart. His neighbor there was the artist Willi Baumeister. The screen printer and the artist worked together, which resulted in almost 60 serigraphs being produced between 1950 and Baumeister's death in 1955. Inspired by the first exhibitions of the Baumeister screen prints, other artists soon also had Domberger print. In the years that followed, Domberger had a decisive influence on the newly emerging profession of the screen printer; Young printers like Hans-Peter Haas emerged from his workshop. At the end of the 1960s, Edition Domberger was founded at the new printing site in Plattenhardt near Stuttgart, and it still exists today under the management of his son, the screen printer Michael Domberger. From the 1950s onwards Domberger created serigraphs for many internationally known artists, including Max Ackermann , Josef Albers , Keith haring, Cy Twombly, Max Bill , Richard Estes , Adolf Fleischmann , Otto Herbert Hajek , Richard Hamilton , Robert Indiana , Nicholas Krushenick , Roy Lichtenstein , Georg Karl Pfahler , Victor Vasarely and Ben Willikens. From Pop art and Op art to Minimalism, Photorealism and Conceptual art. They have a long history of working with women artists, among them German conceptualist Hanne Darboven and Anni Albers. They also had an instinct for cool Op artists, and, in particular, the hard-edge color-field painters of the 1960s. Prints from Domberger can now be found all over the world at trade fairs, in the art trade and in many graphics auctions and collections.

  • Op Art, Kinetic 1970s Original Vintage Silkscreen Lithograph Print
    By David Roth
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Hand signed and numbered limited edition print. David Roth studied at the Illinois Institute of Technology's Institute of Design and was twice the recipient of the Moholy-Nagy Scholarship in visual design. It was Roth's initial work as a designer at fine art for commercial use that brought him interesting positions as art director for Lanvin, Charles at the Ritz, and Germain Monteil. . The strings are tied in bunches and closely hung tram a wooden bar. The size and shape of the string is similar to that at a canvas painting. Each bundle is represented by a vertical row at squares on the graph and the groupings at string are lined up along the wall according to the horizontal rows at the program. The six primary and secondary colors are used in their full intensity along with black, grey, and white. As a painter Roth works to formulate with color. Some painters regard color as a concomitant of form, hence a subordinate, but Roth's color is the chief medium of his pictorial language. A programmed juxtaposition at primary color allows Roth and the viewer to play upon various combinations. The graphs Roth executes are proportioned according to a strict mathematical formula - the pictures are Composed according to horizontal and vertical divisions on the graph paper. The optical quality of color, deliberately sought, has its roots in the Bauhaus investigations of illusion, and thus has a direct relationship to the Op art produced in postwar Europe. Roth has arranged his hues so as to persuade the planes to separate from the ground on which they are planted, and float free in space. It is almost as if Roth is giving us a "readout" on his creative process. Although the graphs appear to vary in their use of color the same colors are used throughout, also the same amount of color. Roth's work illustrates the sophistication of the human eye-brain relationship that has developed and invites the viewer to participate in the evolution at visionary ideas.
