Print of 'Fisherman', Israeli Artist Margot Lange Ascheim, West Germany, 1960's

About the Item

This evocative mid-century print of Fisherman by Israeli artist Margot Lange Ascheim, originally an oil on canvas, captures the raw essence of human labor through a modernist lens. Produced in West Germany in the 1960s and distributed by Harvey Hutter & Co., Inc., the print depicts three fishermen tending to their nets in a semi-abstract composition dominated by cool blues and earthy tones. Ascheim’s style reflects the influence of the Expressionist movement, characterized by bold, gestural brushstrokes and a focus on emotional intensity over realistic representation. The figures are rendered with simplified forms and angular lines, their silhouettes set against a textured, almost cubist background that evokes the rhythm of the sea and the urban landscape. This piece embodies the mid-20th-century shift toward abstraction in art, blending figurative elements with an expressive, modernist approach. Framed in a simple, neutral mat and frame, this print is a compelling addition to any collector’s gallery or modernist interior, offering a glimpse into the global artistic dialogues of the 1960s. Margot Lange Ascheim (1911–1995) was an Israeli artist born in Berlin, Germany, to a Jewish family. Fleeing Nazi persecution, she immigrated to Palestine in the 1930s, where she became part of the burgeoning Israeli art scene. Trained in painting and drawing, Ascheim was influenced by German Expressionism and the modernist movements of the early 20th century. Her work often explored themes of labor, community, and the human condition, reflecting her experiences as an immigrant and her deep connection to her new homeland. Ascheim’s paintings and prints gained recognition for their emotional depth and dynamic compositions, and she exhibited widely in Israel and internationally, contributing to the cultural identity of Israeli art during the mid-20th century. ---Dimensions--- Width: 13 in / 33.02 cm Depth: 1 in / 2.54 cm Height: 11 in / 27.94 cm This limited print is in 100% original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection!
