Robert Freund (1936–1996) – Expressionist screenprint hand-signed in pencil – 1969 – limited edition 2/78

Expressionist composition – 1969

Original screenprint created in 1969 by the German artist Robert Freund, active on the Frankfurt art scene in the 1960s–1970s.

This work belongs to a particularly interesting period of his graphic work, characterized by a powerful pictorial language situated between figuration and abstraction. The composition presents a stylized face built from broad color fields and strong contrasts. The deep colors – reds, blacks, blues and ochres – structure the image and give the whole a strong expressive intensity, typical of the artistic spirit of the late 1960s.

The work testifies to a plastic research focused on human expression and emotional tension, in an aesthetic close to post-war European Expressionism.
