This is a fine estate found print from German artist Rolf Cavael (1898-1979). Titled Lithofa 61/44, this colored lithograph is signed and numbered in black ink: 178/200. Cavael studied typography and applied graphics at the Frankfurt "Stadelschule" from 1924 to 1926. His first large exhibition took place in 1933 in castle Braunschweig together with Joseph Albers, but the Nazis closed the exhibition down the same day it opened. The two painters were banned from exhibitions. Rolf Cavael moved to Garmisch and continued abstract painting in secret. In 1936 Cavael was denounced and kept interned at the Dachau concentration camp for nine months. Then he was not only banned from exhibiting but also from painting. After the war, Rolf Cavael resumed his artistic work, which was only happening in secret during the years of the ban. In 1949 Cavael, Baumeister, Winter, Geiger and other artists founded the 'ZEN 49' group, which became the most important non-representational group of artists in southern Germany. - 22 1/2 x 16 1/2"
