The print, titled "Die Löwen" (The Lions), by Nathan Altman is a compelling work in black and white lithography set against a burnished gold background. This specific print comes from a limited edition series titled "Jüdische Graphik" (Jewish Graphics), published in Berlin in 1923 by "Petropolis." Only 250 copies of this series were produced, making each surviving piece a rare collector's item. Nathan Altman was an influential figure in the Russian and Soviet avant-garde movement. Born in 1889 in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, he studied at the Odessa Art School, later moving to Paris to further his education at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere. Altman's style evolved over the years, showing strong influences from Cubism and Futurism, which are evident in his approach to stage design and book illustration as well. "Die Löwen" reflects Altman's skill in using stark contrasts and geometric abstraction, characteristics common to Cubism. This work likely carries symbolic meanings, perhaps reflecting themes of power, resilience, or Jewish heritage, which are expressed through the stylized, powerful imagery of the lions. The choice of a gold background not only highlights the figures but also adds a regal or sacred connotation, elevating the subjects in a manner that may tie back to historical or cultural significance within Jewish art. Altman's contributions extend beyond visual arts; he was also notable for his set designs for Jewish theaters...

The artwork titled "Der Leuchter" (The Candelabra) is a striking lithograph from Nathan Altmann's "Jüdische Graphik" series, produced in a limited edition of only 250 copies in 1923. This work exemplifies Altmann's avant-garde style, blending traditional Jewish themes with the modernist aesthetics of Cubism. The candelabra, traditionally a significant symbol in Jewish culture—often associated with the menorah—here is abstractly interpreted, adding layers of cultural and spiritual meaning. Altmann’s choice of a burnished gold background not only enriches the visual impact but also elevates the symbolic elements, giving the artwork a solemn and revered quality. This specific piece, like others from the series, was produced in Berlin by the publisher "Petropolis," reflecting the vibrant Jewish artistic community that existed in pre-war Europe. Altmann’s work, especially given his background as a Jewish artist in Soviet Russia, often navigated between his cultural identity and the broader avant-garde movements, making each of his pieces historically and artistically significant. This print, considering its rarity and the mystery surrounding the number of surviving copies, is an exceptional representation of Jewish cultural history intertwined with early 20th-century art movements.

"Eva und die Schlange" (Eve and the Snake) by Nathan Altman is anintriguing lithograph from the "Jüdische Graphik" series produced in 1923. This artwork features a compelling and symbolically rich depiction of Eve entwined with the snake, set against the same burnished gold background that characterizes other prints from this series. The use of black and white lithography enhances the dramatic interplay between the figures, highlighting themes of temptation and knowledge that are central to the Biblical story of Eve. In this print, Altman's avant-garde sensibilities are evident in the stylization of the figures and the expressive, almost abstract forms of the snake and foliage. The inclusion of Hebrew text further anchors the piece within its Jewish cultural context, possibly adding layers of interpretation related to wisdom, sin, and redemption. As with the other prints from this series, the limited edition of only 250 copies increases its rarity and value. Altman's work not only captures significant biblical narratives but also reflects the broader themes of cultural identity and modernist experimentation in the early 20th century. This print serves as a fascinating example of how traditional stories are reinterpreted through modernist artistic lenses, making it a valuable piece for collectors and admirers of Jewish and avant-garde art. Altmann’s choice of a burnished gold background not only enriches the visual impact but also elevates the symbolic elements, giving the artwork a solemn and revered quality.

This artwork, presumably from Nathan Altman's "Jüdische Graphik" series, showcases a stunning lithograph of doves amongst foliage, rendered in black and white against a burnished gold background. The intricacy of the design, combined with the symbolic choice of doves—often representing peace or the Holy Spirit—suggests a layer of deep cultural or spiritual significance. The style retains Altman's avant-garde influences, merging cubist shapes and forms to create a dynamic and visually engaging composition. The print, possibly titled "Die Tauben" (The Doves), would be another example of Altman's ability to convey powerful themes through the medium of print, aligning with his other works from the 1923 series in terms of technique and thematic exploration. The limited edition nature of these prints adds to their rarity and desirability among collectors and scholars of both Jewish art and avant-garde movements of the early 20th century. As with the other prints from this series, the limited edition of only 250 copies increases its rarity and value.

This lithograph, part of Nathan Altmann's "Jüdische Graphik" series, depicts a stylized vase with a flower, produced in 1923. The artwork, in black and white on a burnished gold background, showcases Altman's avant-garde approach to graphic design and illustration. The use of simple, yet bold forms highlights the modernist influence on Altman, merging elements of Cubism with a symbolic representation that might suggest themes of growth, beauty, or fragility. The vase and flower motif, although a common subject in art, is transformed under Altman's hand into a piece that reflects both the artistic trends of the early 20th century and the cultural identity of the Jewish community in Berlin at that time. The production of only 250 copies makes this print a rare and significant piece, with its current existence a testament to the historical and artistic value of Altman's work. Altman's background as a Russian and Soviet artist who engaged deeply with Jewish themes...
