Claude Weisbuch
'Artist Series at the Pabst' original lithograph poster, violinists 1980s

1980

About the Item

This limited edition poster was produced for the fifth anniversary season of the Artist Series at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, in cooperation with the David Barnett Gallery. It is an original lithograph of one of Claude Weisbuch's images of violinists. Weisbuch's approach to the figure emphasizes movement and change, capturing in two dimensions the time-based quality of music and performance. The violin players are rendered with confident, dynamic lines, seeming to display the energetic pull of the bow across the violin strings. 29.5 x 21.5 inches, poster 30 x 22 inches, frame Edition 3/100 in pencil, lower left Inscribed "limited edition original lithograph by Claude Weisbuch in cooperation with the David Barnett Gallery, Milwaukee" lower left Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag mounting materials, UF5 Plexiglas to inhibit fading, and housed in a gold finish aluminum moulding. Claude Weisbuch was born in Thionville, France in 1927 and was a pupil at L' École des Beaux-Arts de Nancy, France. As a painter, engraver, and exceptional lithographer, Claude Weisbuch has painted active motifs, such as musicians, horses, and characters. Dominating in his work, by the relief and the velvety line which characterizes drypoint, his etchings are the strongest representations of his figures, intensely lively after the 1960s. Using dark tones which express his sharp sense, Claude Weisbuch ceaselessly captures life's dynamics, as the pictorial, musical and literary expressions that are essentially human. Whether it is the impassioned violinist, the mercurial actor, or the sitter shrouded with silent intensity, they have all been rendered with Weisbuch's love for drama. The brushstrokes are sweeping and bold while the paint is fluid. His pictures, full of movement, give one the impression of time-lapsed motion and display an expression of passionate humanity tinged with a unique energy. "Some important things to look for in evaluating an artist for such a position of honour are: an inventiveness of style, a prolific output, and a consistency of quality--Claude Weisbuch has all three. His style is unique with a color range that is rich and warm in tone, certainly equal to that of Rembrandt. The fluidity of line and creation of motion is even more vigorous than in the work of Daumier or Toulouse Lautrec. His creativeness in composition is awesome and seems to have infinite possibilities of variation and vision." - David Barnett
