Emma Schlangenhausen's limited edition, hand-signed monochrome woodcut titled Pferde (1920), an expressionist animal study from Austria, 17 x 17 cm, framed in a silver wooden frame (38 x 38 cm).
Description from the seller
A rare, original monochrome woodcut on paper by the prominent Austrian artist Emma Schlangenhausen (1882–1947) is offered.
This powerful work, entitled "Pferde" (Horses), dates from 1920 and is a splendid example of her distinctive, expressive style and her mastery of the graphic medium. The work shows a dynamic and angular composition of horses, executed with the sharp black-and-white contrasts that are so characteristic of Schlangenhausen.
Her work is strongly influenced by German Expressionism and the Viennese Secession (she studied, among others, with legends Alfred Roller and Koloman Moser). Works by her hand are included in major international museum collections, including the well-known Albertina Museum in Vienna and the National Galleries of Scotland.
The artwork is framed in a matching silver-colored wooden frame and is ready to hang. Size of the frame is 38 x 38 cm.
