About the Item
In his introductory notes, Eisler traces Klimts career, evincing a decidedly ambivalent attitude towards the artist. By stressing the decorative qualities of Klimts paintings, Eisler betrays a bias conditioned by the proliferation of Modernist styles after Klimts death. Yet the stunning collotype of Hygieia as well as sections of the Stoclet Frieze remind present-day viewers of Klim’s contribution to the development of Modernism in the twentieth century. These works reveal Klimts unique ability to combine naturalistic representation with abstract patterning in a manner unparalleled by any other artist of his time, or since.

Victor Pasmore Etching from "The Dance of Man In Modern Times Portfolio"
By Victor Pasmore 1
Located in Stamford, CT
An etching and aquatint by Victor Pasmore from his portfolio titled "The Dance of Man in Modern Times". Victor Pasmore was one of the leading members of the English school of Abstract Expressionism. Please note this is one print from a larger portfolio. Other prints from this portfolio are available.
A bit about Pasmore-
Beginning in 1947, he developed a purely abstract style under the influence of Ben Nicholson and other artists associated with Circle, becoming a pioneering figure of the revival of interest in Constructivism in Britain following the War. [6] Pasmore's abstract work, often in collage and construction of reliefs, pioneered the use of new materials and was sometimes on a large architectural scale. Herbert Read described Pasmore's new style as "The most revolutionary event in post-war British art".[7]
In 1950, he was commissioned to design an abstract mural for a bus depot in Kingston upon Thames[8] and the following year Pasmore contributed a mural to the Festival of Britain that promoted a number of the British Constructivists.
Pasmore was a supporter of fellow artist Richard Hamilton, giving him a teaching job in Newcastle and contributing a constructivist structure to the exhibition "This Is Tomorrow" in collaboration with Erno Goldfinger and Helen Phillips...
