About the Item

Fritz Winter (1905 Altenbögge - 1976 Herrsching am Ammersee) “black, light English red” Color aquatint of 2 plates, created in 1967 Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies on Rives laid paper, Printer; Signovert, Saulx les Chartreux signed and numbered by hand EX. 8/100 Published by: Marbach, Bern framed behind glass Dimensions: 56 x 38 cm (sheet size) The painter and graphic artist is one of the outstanding protagonists of German post-war art. In his balanced, abstract compositions, which he created from around 1930, he drew on the art of the “Blaue Reiter” and the Bauhaus. From the 1950s onwards, he explored the stylistic devices of Art Informel and color field painting. In doing so, he always sought to make the hidden elementary forces and structures of nature visible. Inspired by the works of Modersohn-Becker and van Gogh, he produced his first paintings in 1924. From 1927 to 1930, he studied at the Dresden Bauhaus under Kandinsky, Klee and Schlemmer. He also visited Kirchner in Davos in 1929/30. In 1930, he moved to Berlin, where he worked for some time in Gabo's studio and held his first solo exhibition in Germany. He also founded the studio community “Studio Z” with artist friends. In 1931/32, he taught at the Pedagogical Academy in Halle. In 1937 he was banned from painting and Winter now worked in seclusion in Diessen am Ammersee. After the war, he moved to Munich, where he co-founded the artist group “ZEN 49” in 1949. In 1953, he taught as a visiting professor at the Landeskunstschule Hamburg. In 1954, he leaves the Deutscher Künstlerbund after a dispute with its first chairman Karl Hofer about abstract painting. In 1955 he accepted a professorship at the Kunsthochschule Kassel and took part in the documenta (also in 1959). In 1965, he presented his work in the first major retrospective. Winter received numerous awards, including the 1st Prize of the Deutscher Künstlerbund Berlin in 1951, the Tokyo International Graphic Arts Prize in 1957 and the Order “Pour le Mérite” in 1972.

Ernst Fuchs (1930 - 2015) "Head of a cherub", created in 1982 Color silkscreen
By Ernst Fuchs
Located in Münster, DE
Ernst Fuchs (1930 - 2015) "Head of a cherub", created in 1982 Color silkscreen, ed. 200 pieces, signed and numbered Dimensions 67.7 cm x 45 cm Ernst Fuchs was born on February 13, 1930 in Vienna Ottakring as the only child of Maximilian and Leopoldine Fuchs; his father was of Jewish descent, which is why his grandfather and father emigrated to the USA and Shanghai in 1938 after the annexation of Austria by the Third Reich. To protect little Ernst from anti-Semitic hostility, it was decided to baptize him according to the Roman Catholic rite in 1942. The 12-year-old Ernst Fuchs was allowed to choose his own baptismal name and chose Ernst Peter Paul, in honor of the painter Peter Paul Rubens, whom he admired at the time. Around the same time, his godmother's brother, the painter and restorer Alois Schiemann, taught him the basics of drawing and painting. Until the age of 15, he attended the St. Anna painting school in Vienna, where he was taught sculpture and painting by Emmy Steinböck and Fritz Fröhlich. After the war, Ernst Fuchs was finally able to take up his longed-for studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, which he had previously been denied for racist reasons. His teachers were first Robin Andersen, then Albert Paris Gütersloh. While still a student, he was allowed to hold his first solo exhibition in Paris in 1949, and soon afterwards, in 1950, he also moved to the French capital. Ernst Fuchst traveled through Europe and the USA for six years before taking an extended stay at the Dormition Monastery on Mount Zion in Israel in 1957 to study icon painting in depth. He finally returned to Vienna in 1962, where he founded the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism with former fellow students, of which he himself was to become the most important representative. The early years in particular were characterized by a strong surrealism; mythical and religious symbols in particular appealed to Ernst Fuchs and permeated his work. Later, Fuchs turned increasingly to Mannerism. Ernst Fuchs' artistic spectrum broadened over the years: he sang and recorded various albums, which, like the majority of his paintings, were inspired by mystical motifs, and he designed stage sets for such famous operas as Wagner's Parsifal and Lohengrin or Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Ernst Fuchs also wrote philosophical treatises. He repeatedly collaborated with other artists, including the musicians Klaus Schulze...
