Yargo de Lucca (German Canadian, 1925-2008). 3 color serigraphs from "Canada Suite" series, 1976-1977. A wonderful trio of hand-signed and hand-numbered Inuit-inspired serigraphs by German Canadian artist Yargo de Lucca, presenting various Canadian birds and forms of plant life, each composition delineated in a brilliant color palette - vermilion, kelly green, and beige; rose, plum, and beige; azure, russet, and beige - in de Lucca's signature Abstract Surrealist style. Serigraphy is a medium that many famous artists embraced - including Andy Warhol, Peter Max, and LeRoy Neiman - and it has existed for more than 100 years. De Lucca certainly was in good company! Size of serigraphs: 13.3" L x 10.5" W (33.8 cm x 26.7 cm) Size of sheets: 18.5" L x 14.5" W (47 cm x 36.8 cm)

Yargo de Lucca was born in Kassel, Germany in 1925. He studied in Frankfurt, Munich as well as the Stuttgart Academy of Art with mentor Willi Baumeister. In 1951, de Lucca moved to Canada and became a Canadian citizen. He would eventually divide his time between his studios in Alternhein am Bodensee, Switzerland and Deux Montagnes, Canada. He also lived and worked in Alicante, Spain for a time.
