Hans Falk Art

Swiss, 1918-2002

Hans Falk was born in Zurich in 1918. He was a Swiss painter who lived in New York City, Ireland, England, Switzerland and Stromboli, Italy. He went on to study at the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich and the art schools in Lucerne. Falk’s first commissioned works were posters and graphic designs, which won him numerous awards. Among his most important competition wins were a series of seven posters he designed for the 1964 Swiss National Exhibition. Falk went on to travel extensively, living abroad for extended periods in England, New York and Ireland. In his later years, he divided his home between Switzerland and the Sicilian island of Stromboli. Falk died in 2002 after a fruitful career that produced a large body of paintings, posters and sought-after graphic designs, and made him one of the most important contemporary Swiss artists.

Windswept Landscape Henry Moore drawing of Scottish landscape for W.H. Auden
By Henry Moore
Located in New York, NY
One of a series of 18 lithographs drawn by the artist fo¬r the Auden Poems/Moore Lithographs 1974 book and portfolio. This work is from an edition of 25 printed on vellum aside from the portfolio (edition of 75) and the book. Signed by the artist lower right in pencil; numbered lower left in pencil. Printed in inky black, this print features a shadowy landscape. Brush sweeps to the left, and the sky is drawn with long horizontal lines. In the bottom half of the composition, the ground looks rocky, perhaps dotted with shrubs. Windswept Landscape displays Moore’s fascination with light and dark – what he called a “…bias towards the blackness and mysterious depths.” Moore was inspired by the prints of Rembrandt and the drawings of Seurat, and even drew on his memories of viewing the Altamira cave paintings, recalling how some of the images used the shadow of candlelight on the rough surface of the rock to model light. Shortly before starting work on this series of lithographs, Moore had fallen ill, leaving him aware of his own mortality. His mood pervaded these prints with a sense of danger and foreboding. The Auden/Moore limited edition book and portfolio were exhibited on publication at the British Museum, London, with an accompanying catalogue. Windswept Landscape is one of a group of lithographs...
