Engraving from Germany
 

Somebody tell who is the author of this engraving?

Engravers in Germany, there were hundreds.
In the first third of the 20 century.
Almost all artists have worked in print, from most significant to the obscure.
It was popular.


Working in such a state can have value only in the case of a very famous author.
No one comes to mind is not.

On your photo sheet wrapped just for the monogram.
Is it possible to deploy it to better see the monogram?
In addition, it is possible that the artist and not a German, or that he did not in Germany: in 1939, such "non-Aryan" art by the Nazis are not welcome.

I think that date is 1930, not 1939, all still at that time was still more room with the non-Aryan art.

A monogram, it seems, MV

Still, the feeling did German Etching

I would even linked it with the terms Lea Grundig and her husband, Hans Grundig, there must be sought, in my opinion.


Knick-dated to the late 1920's - the very beginning of 1930.

I increased the signature.
Here's what happened.

In this figure, my uncle wrote a letter from the front, so that Germany is accurate.

Pavel, you have that does not have the engraving on his hands?

Pavel, the increase is normal, but you still have straightened sheet to all the monogram would be fully visible.

Tomorrow I'll put up photos.
In words, W and J in the middle.

Pavel, you have - Tool copper engraving by German artist Johannes Wüst (Johannes Wüsten, 1896 - 1943). Your print is called "The Prayer" ("Andacht") and was performed in 1930, her reproduction, as well as reproductions of his other works you can see on the site

By the way, is very rare for the XX century technique of engraving.
Yes, and his biography is also not devoid of interest ... Member of the KPD, was persecuted by the Nazis. You can write a historical novel.

Thank you! Deystvitelnoochen interesting artist and a very good technician incisal prints. And the face is good. I print very close. I was in a section of graphics to 92g and was familiar with Filipovic Gury Zakharov and therefore worked great etchings. Now sorry, we could do a lot of small ones. Were the thoughts and stuff. There is no possibility. Knew Obrosova Igor-he helped me in my time.

Yes, I do not think that can be Tool engraving, etching wrote.
Who is going to fool with a pen, a needle, then all the easier ...

And about the novels - is to CS :D

In fact, most German equipment.
At small sizes a large circulation and expressiveness.

Yes, it's all true, but I agree with Amateur, are now very few people can afford to tinker with the cutting engraving. Yes, and the hardness of the hands of extraordinary need. And in our time with such a firm hand to earn more killer than an engraver. :)
Yes, even etching someone who now dabbles in? Unit, and then strive to do a dry needle, and not fool with etching

Dear experts, Can you please tell the sources from which you can draw anything on the technique of execution of engravings, and generally about the engraving. Is there any information of interest to me, for example, in "History of European engravings XV-XVIII centuries" Kristeller? Looked Western European Engravings of the Museum of Private Collections, still can not move away. First, are the originals that have admired and, second, strike the names, and thirdly, the very design - will not leave anyone indifferent. Wanted to show it is a miracle forum users, but it was impossible to photograph, but do not like cheating, so sought permission to call in the graphics department of the Pushkin Museum in the exhibition organizers. Said that it is expensive, troublesome, it is necessary to conclude a contract, etc. and advised to purchase directory. Began to notice that 'implanting' in the engraving, I would like to know about this not only because of Wikipedia. Something to tell?
