About the Item

Arthur Paunzen, 'Der Trunkene im Frühling' (The Drunkard in Spring) from the suite 'Song of the Earth', etching, aquatint, and drypoint, 1920. Signed and titled in pencil. Signed in the plate, lower right. A fine, richly-inked impression, on cream, wove Japan paper; the full sheet with margins (2 1/4 to 4 1/4 inches), in good condition. Image size 12 3/8 x 9 1/8 inches; sheet size 19 5/8 x 13 5/8 inches. Matted to museum standards, unframed. ABOUT THIS WORK Pauzen’s suite of six etchings 'Das Lied von der Erde' (The Song of the Earth), published in 1920, was inspired by Gustav Mahler’s 1909 composition of the same name. Mahler’s work, described as a symphony when published, comprises six songs for two singers who alternate movements. Pauzen created an etching depicting the theme of each of the six songs. ABOUT THE ARTIST Arthur Paunzen was born in 1890 in Vienna, where he made his career as a printmaker. His initial success came in 1915 with an exhibition organized by Halm & Goldmann, for which he received the Legion of Honor for Vienna. In 1927 he exhibited in the 21st Annual Austrian Federal Art Exhibition. Paunzen’s reputation as a printmaker was further distinguished by two print series of six etchings each, entitled 'Fantasies on Beethoven’s Symphonies', 1918 and 'Song of the Earth', 1920, inspired by Mahler. His work is represented in the permanent collections of The Albertina Museum, Vienna; The Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin; British Museum, London; and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

    By Pablo Picasso
    Located in Fairfield, CT
    Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Title: Jeune fille regardée par une vielle femme et deux hommes dont un gitan Year: 1968 Medium: Etching, aquatint and drypoint on Rives BFK paper Size: 12.5 x 18.5 (plate); 17.75 x 24.25 inches (paper); 20.25 x 30.25 inches (frame) Condition: Excellent Catalogue: B. 1511; Ba. 1527 Inscription: Signed and numbered in pencil Notes: Published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris, from the 347 Series. PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) Spanish painter and sculptor is one of the most recognized figures of twentieth century art. During his artistic career, which lasted more than 75 years, he created thousands of works using all kinds of mediums. He changed art more profoundly than any other artist of his time. First famous for pioneering cubism, Picasso continued to develop his art with a pace and vitality comparable to the accelerated technological and cultural changes of the twentieth century. Each change embodied a radical idea, and might be said that Picasso lived several artistic lifetimes. ABOUT SELLER DO YOU HAVE ARTWORK TO SELL?
