Fritz Zalisz Art

German, 1893-1971

Fritz Zalisz was a German painter, graphic designer and sculptor, considered one of the most important representatives of German expressionism, studied at the Leipzig Academy with Otto Richard Bossert and Alois Kolb from 1910–15. After the First World War, Zalisz moved to Leipzig where he fit perfectly into the artistic environment. During his study stay in Munich, the first plastic experiments were carried out under the influence of Adolf von Hildebrands. Zalisz met Lenin in a Munich coffee house and drew him. In 1914, Zalisz was a participant in the First World War (among other things as a war painter of the 58th division). In 1918, he continued his studies at the Academy for Graphics and Book Trade in Leipzig. Zalisz’s teachers were Otto Richard Bossert and Alois Kolb for graphic techniques (especially etching and wood engraving) and with Adolf Lehnert for plastic. After further study stays in Berlin, he worked as a freelancer in Leipzig, from where he set out to travel to Holland, Belgium, France and Switzerland. In 1927, Zalisz decided to offer one professorship in Madrid. In 1940, the move to Leipzig-Holzhausen took place. After the Second World War, Zalisz mainly created small and animal sculptures. He also wrote aphorisms and poems.

Portrait de Jeune Fille Portrait of a Girl 1970 original aquatint Leonor Fini
By Leonor Fini
Located in Paonia, CO
Portrait de Jeune Fille is a haunting portrait of a young girl also known as .. Justine… she could be either fading into the distance or just materializing out of a dream state. Her hair and the air around her is in shades of pale blue and the background is the white of the paper. This is a limited edition ( 170/300) aquatint , signed in the plate. In good condition with a 1" repaired tear midway on the right border which will not show when framed. Argentinian-born artist Leonor Fini (1907-1996) is considered one of the great female artists of the twentieth century. She moved to Paris in the early 1930’s where she spent most of her life and almost immediately formed friendships with Salvador Dali, Cartier- Bresson, Max Ernst and other intellectuals of the time. At twenty five she had her first one person show in Paris and was included in the 1936 pivotal exhibition at MOMA…Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism…..and that same year had an exhibition at a famous avant garde gallery in New York. Although Fini never considered herself a Surrealist she maintained close personal relationships with several members of the group. One can see how their ideology influenced her work but she remained firmly rooted in the tradition of Symbolism, Metaphysics and Italian and German Romanticism Her works can be found in most important collections of modern art around the world. Fini was renowned as a portraitist and as a painter of erotic sexual tensions with a mysterious atmosphere. She was adamant about being independent and not belonging to any one group. She lived life on her own terms and is sometimes referred to as …..the female Dali. She was also involved with designing for fashion and creating elaborate sets for opera and theatre. As a feminist she was definitely ahead of the times. She produced the first erotic male nude...
