Description from the seller
Otto Lais was a German artist whose oeuvre developed during a period marked by major social and artistic changes.
Born in 1904, he belonged to a generation of artists who directly experienced the impact of both the Weimar period and the turbulent decades that followed.
His work shows a strong affinity with figurative art traditions, while at the same time he was open to stylistic innovations that broke through in the first half of the 20th century.
In this expressive print, Otto Lais presents a dynamic and satirical scene in which a handcart, heavily laden with a group of grotesquely characterized figures, is pulled by a gaunt, nearly skeletal man. The cart stands high on its wheels and tilts menacingly backward due to the wild behavior of its occupants. The figures on the cart have exaggerated facial features and theatrical poses, giving the scene a strongly humorous yet unsettling undertone.
Dimensions with frame: 44 x 37 cm
Dimensions without frame: 30 x 23 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we make use of conservators from the trade association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this service, please let us know.
