"Alte Häuser in Krumau" - 1914 ("Old Houses in Krumau") After Egon Schiele. Provenance: small edition printed in Vienna by the State Print Office of Austria (Staatsdruckerei Österreich) on high quality paper in 1951. Signed in the plate with "Egon Schiele 1914". This print, which demonstrate Schiele's distinctive style, is very well preserved after all these years. It hasn't ever been framed (picture with frame is from my private collection). It has been stored throughout the 70+ years since it was printed. Please see pictures for details about its exact condition. From a private collection, Austria. Very hard to find as the majority are now in institutions or in private collections. Prints from this series have sold for more than 1500€ on Catawiki. Please note: this is an original phototype from 1951, not a later reproduction or giclee print, which are far more common. International shipping with tracking and insurance. Will be very carefuly and securely packed (see reviews). Phototype technique is the highest quality printing process ever. The colour image is broken down into up to 25 colours and then printed on top of each other in as many print cycles. The finished image achieved a colour quality that was almost comparable to that of an oil image. This technique was mainly used for illustrating books / prints in small editions. Makes possible to achieve prints of incredibly high original fidelity. Egon Schiele (12 June 1890 - 31 October 1918) was an Austrian painter. Schiele was a protégé of Gustav Klimt and an important figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is known for its intensity and its rough sexuality and the many self-portraits that the artist made. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize the works of Schiele mark the artist as an early exponent of expressionism.
