Hans Burkhardt (1904-1994)
This is a great mid century lithograph by internationally recognized and accomplished artist, Hans Burkhardt. Signed and dated in pencil.
Hans Burkhardt was a Swiss American Abstract Expressionist. He emigrated from Basel, Switzerland to New York. He shared Arshile Gorky studio from 1929-1936.
When he moved from NY to LA in 1937, he represented the most significant bridge between NY and LA in that his paintings of the 1930's are part of the genesis of American abstract expressionists. He brought with him many of the nascent ideas of abstract and abstract expressionist painting that had been swirling among the NY artists, foremost among them, Arshile Gorky and Willemstad de Kooning.
Burkhardt's ability to evoke compelling works of human empathy has led several of today's preeminent art historians and critics to regard many of his paintings to be among the major works of our time.
He was a friend of American Abstract Expressionist painter, Mark Tobey.
Burkhardt's unique role as an important American painter is affirmed by the constant interest and continuing reassessment afforded his work. His work is in the top international museums and private collections world wide.
Few minor scratches on the frame. Few minor crease or wrinkle in print, yet does not detract.
