Bruno Héroux for sale on 1stDibs
Louis Carl Bruno Héroux was a German painter from a Huguenot family and son of an engraver, Bruno Héroux, who follows the teachings of the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB) in Leipzig, where he excels in xylography very quickly. From 1900–10, Héroux exhibited his paintings and engravings at the Salon of French Artists in Paris and obtained the Honorable Mention in 1906. His style, close to symbolism, evolved to the Jugendstil and was praised by an artist like Max Klinger. Héroux was soon at the center of the Leipzig School (Leipziger Künstlervereins) and some of his drawings were used to decorate buildings in Leipzig. He is the author of several hundred original engravings (some of which, erotic, are now very popular), and illustrated a large number of books.

Bring energy and an array of welcome colors and textures into your space by decorating with figurative fine-art prints and works on paper.
Figurative art stands in contrast to abstract art, which is more expressive than representational. The oldest-known work of figurative art is a figurative painting — specifically, a rock painting of an animal made over 40,000 years ago in Borneo. This remnant of a remote past has long faded, but its depiction of a cattle-like creature in elegant ocher markings endures.
Since then, figurative art has evolved significantly as it continues to represent the world, including a breadth of works on paper, including printmaking. This includes woodcuts, which are a type of relief print with perennial popularity among collectors. The artist carves into a block and applies ink to the raised surface, which is then pressed onto paper. There are also planographic prints, which use metal plates, stones or other flat surfaces as their base. The artist will often draw on the surface with grease crayon and then apply ink to those markings. Lithographs are a common version of planographic prints.
Figurative art printmaking was especially popular during the height of the Pop art movement, and this kind of work can be seen in artist Andy Warhol’s extensive use of photographic silkscreen printing. Everyday objects, logos and scenes were given a unique twist, whether in the style of a comic strip or in the use of neon colors.
