About the Item

Rainer Ehrt (*1960 Elbingerode), Graphic portfolio for E. T. A. Hoffmann ‘Miss of Scuderi’, 2003. Seven color aquatint etchings, 53 cm x 38 cm in linen folder, each signed in lead lower right and numbered lower left, two sheets of accompanying text with signed printer's note, copy no. 25 / 30. Published by ‘Serapion vom See’. - Portfolio with minimal traces of use, one sheet dusty in a few marginal areas, otherwise in perfect condition - Curdled Imagination - Rainer Ehrt's portfolio revives the tradition of large-format illustrations by artists such as Lovis Corinth and Max Slevogt. Each sheet looks like a work in its own right, thanks to the different colors alone. Ehrt's wildly virtuoso yet pointed style opens up an imaginative space that allows E. T. A. Hoffmann's nightmarish narrative to be understood and re-explored through imagery. About the artist After beginning his design studies, Rainer Ehrt gained a year of work experience at printing companies in Halle and Leipzig. From 1983 to 1988, he studied at the Burg Giebichenstein Art Academy in Halle. Since then, he has worked as an illustrator, cartoonist, and freelance graphic designer. In 1993, he founded Edition Ehrt in Kleinmachnow, which specializes in original graphic and bibliophile artist books. His cartoons have been published in major German daily and weekly newspapers, such as Frankfurter Allgemeine, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and Die Zeit, and have often appeared in Eulenspiegel. Ehrt has received numerous awards for his work, most recently the Art Prize of the City of Wernigerode in 2020. GERMAN VERSION Rainer Ehrt (*1960 Elbingerode), Grafikmappe zu E. T. A. Hoffmann ‚Das Fräulein von Scuderi‘, 2003. Sieben Farbaquatinta-Radierungen, 53 cm x 38 cm in Leinenflügelmappe, jeweils in Blei unten rechts signiert und unten links nummeriert, zwei Blatt Begleittext mit signiertem Druckvermerk, Exemplar Nr. 25 / 30. Erschienen bei ‚Serapion vom See‘. - Mappe mit minimalen Gebrauchsspuren, ein Blatt an wenigen Randbereichen angestaubt, ansonsten in tadellosem Zustand - Geronnene Imagination - Mit seiner Mappe belebt Rainer Ehrt die Tradition der großformatigen Künstlerillustrationen eins Lovis Corinth und Max Slevogt wieder. Dabei wirkt jedes Blatt allein schon durch die verschiedenartige Farbigkeit wie ein für sich stehendes Werk. Der wild-virtuose und dennoch pointierende Stil eröffnet einen Imaginationsraum, der die alptraumhafte Erzählung von E. T. A. Hoffmanns im Modus der Bildlichkeit nachvollziehen und neu erschließen lässt. zum Künstler Nach einem begonnenen Design-Studium und einen Praktikumsjahr in Druckereibetrieben in Halle und Leipzig studierte Rainer Ehrt von 1983 bis 1988 an der Kunsthochschule Burg Giebichenstein in Halle. Seitdem ist er als Illustrator, Cartoonist und freier Grafiker tätig. 1993 gründete er in Kleinmachnow die Edition Ehrt für originalgrafische bibliophile Künstlerbücher. Seine Karikaturen wurden in den großen Deutschen Tages- und Wochenblättern wie der „Frankfurter Allgemeinen“, der „Süddeutschen Zeitung“ oder „Die Zeit“ veröffentlicht und erschienen oftmals im „Eulenspiegel“. Für sein Schaffen wurde er mit zahlreichen Preisen geehrt, so erhielt er zuletzt, 2020, den Kunstpreis der Stadt Wernigerode.
