About the Item

The Columns of Herakles Lithograph in Grey printed Zerkall-Vellum paper, 1960 Signed in pencil by the artist 'O. Zadkine' at the lower right corner (see photo) Numbered in pencil 102/350 at the lower left corner (see photo) From the series "Les Traveaux d'Hercule" (Die Arbeiten des Herakles) with 28 original lithographs by Zadkine to the myth of Euripides. Published by Christopher Czwiklitzer in Koln, Germany. Condition: Excellent Sheet size: 20 7/8 x 27 1/8 inches Reference: Ossip Zadkine, Le Sculpteur-Graveur de 1919-1967, by Christoph Czwilklitzer, Paris, 1968. Ossip Zadkine was a relentless, unclassifiable and prolific artist. We can today count more than 612 sculptures and a large number of works on paper, 765 gouaches and drawings as well as 200 lithographs and etchings. The exhibition of his works in his Parisian studio of the rue Rousselet on May 20th 1920, marks the beginning of a long series of shows, including more than 105 solo exhibitions during his lifetime, in Europe but also in the United States and in Japan. Zadkine lived in Belarus (in Vitebsk, his birthplace), in England (Sunderland and London), in France (Paris, Bruniquel, Les Arques), during the First World War he enlisted voluntarily and was posted to the Russian ambulance corps in Champagne in 1916 and during the Second World War he fled to New York (October 1941 – September 1945). He also travelled to many places: Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Japan, America, amongst others. Zadkine collaborated with many people on diverse occasions, with architects (Adrien Blomme, Joseph André, Hugh Maaskant), decorators (Marc du Plantier, André Groult), poets (Claude Aveline, Robert Ganzo, Pierre Béarn …) and was close to important individuals, artists (Marc Chagall, Henry Moore, Tsuguharu Foujita, Amedeo Modigliani …), thinkers, founders, collectors and doctors, industrialists, businessmen… worldwide. He gathered together his memoirs in “Le Maillet et le Ciseau” which he started writing in 1962. All of these elements are starting points that sometimes open up on new directions and allow us to solve certain questions, occasionally prompting us to take surprising, unsuspected and often captivating paths.

  • "La Fleche de Zenon (Zeno's Arrow), " Lithograph after Painting by Rene Magritte
    By René Magritte
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    "La Fleche de Zenon (Zeno's Arrow)" is a color lithograph after the original 1964 painting by Rene Magritte. A gigantic rock levitates over the sea. Waves crash bellow and a crescent moon hangs above. Art: 9.75 x 11.75 in Frame: 20.38 x 22.38 in René-François-Ghislain Magritte was born November 21, 1898, in Lessines, Belgium and died on August 15, 1967 in Brussels. He is one of the most important surrealist artists. Through his art, Magritte creates humor and mystery with juxtapositions and shocking irregularities. Some of his hallmark motifs include the bourgeois “little man,” bowler hats, apples, hidden faces, and contradictory texts. René Magritte’s father was a tailor and his mother was a miller. Tragedy struck Magritte’s life when his mother committed suicide when he was only fourteen. Magritte and his two brothers were thereafter raised by their grandmother. Magritte studied at the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts from 1916 to 1918. After graduating he worked as a wallpaper designer and in advertisement. It was during this period that he married Georgette Berger, whom he had known since they were teenagers. In 1926, René Magritte signed...
