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.
