About the Item

'Hommage à Michel-Ange' is an original color lithograph signed by the contemporary artist Claude Weisbuch and shows the strong interest he took in the High Renaissance. In the image, Weisbuch draws from Michelangelo's frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, looking to god as he created the Earth and the Heavens. In the Renaissance, the artists with creative genius were understood to be conduits for the creativity of God. Thus, as Weisbuch illustrates the creator of all things, he inherently aligns his own creativity to that of the heavens. Weisbuch has created this moment using his typical style of way-finding lines, natural colors, and dramatic drapery, evoking movement and change while also recalling the drawings of the old masters themselves. 22.5 x 30.75 inches, artwork 28 x 36.25 inches, frame Edition 172/280 in pencil, lower left Signed in pencil, lower right Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag matting, UV Clear glass to inhibit fading, and housed in a gold finish aluminium 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, 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 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.

"La Visite des Amateurs, " Original Color figurative sketch print signed
By Claude Weisbuch
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"La Visite des Amateurs" is an original color lithograph by Claude Weisbuch. It is signed in the lower right and editioned "EA" in the lower left. This piece depicts four figures: one artist in black robes, two onlookers, and one female nude model. They appear to be in an endless flat landscape. 22" x 29 7/8" art Claude Weisbuch was born on February 8th, 1927 in Thionville, France. His art includes drawing, painting and lithographs. Inventive and unique with his style he uses color range that is warm and rich in tone, certainly equal to that of Rembrandt. The fluidity of line and creation of motion is even more vigorous that in the work of Daumier or Toulouse Lautrec. His creativeness in composition is awesome and seems to have infinite possibilities of variation and vision. Weisbuch died in 2014.
