"Camden Harbor, Maine" (1954), color woodcut, artist's proof, aside from the edition of 30, full margins, 22 1/8" x 14 3/8", signed, dated and inscribed "proof" in pencil by the artist lower margin, in very good condition (Rose 157). Werner Drewes' (1899-1985) art was based in an abstraction that is realistic at its core, but controlled by geometric simplification. He was among a group of artists that founded the American Abstract Artists (1937) that included Leger, Mondrain and Moholy-Nagy. His works lead to a rebirth in intaglio printmaking in the United States. "Camden Harbor, Maine" is a quiet repose of vibrant color and a variety of geometric shapes that suggest the freedom of sailing, of wind and water, yet all is stable and contained. This work is presented in a primitive style 26 1/4" x 34 1/2" frame finished in Umber and Ochre. The Rattan colored outer, Tartan Green colored mid and Grayed Black colored inner mats are acid and lignin free museum quality with CYRO AR OP-3 UV ..... SOLD |
