"The Mirror #2", (1928-1930), lithograph on smooth cream wove paper, edition of 30, 8 1/4" x 13", signed twice in pencil, lower margin, a very good, dark impression [Rubenstein 80]. Max Weber (1881-1961) was born in Russia and came to America at the age of 10. Some of the most stylistically and technically adventurous American prints of the early 20th century are the diminutive woodcuts by Weber. Their size belies their formal and expressive power, which rivals the best German Expressionist examples. Weber was influenced by Schmidt-Rottluff and by Munch. Weber's means were idiosyncratic and, like Gauguin's, "primitive". In the 1920s and early 1930s most of Weber's works consisted of classic Cezannesque figures, landscapes and still life compositions, often poetic in subject and contemplative in mood. This work is in a Acanthus leaf patterned 25 1/2" x 21" frame with rounded face. The wood fillet is a beaded antique warm silver with red bole. The Tumbleweed suede outer and chocolate rag inner acid and lignin free mats are protected with Acrylite-AR OP3 (UV) by CYRO .... $2,500.00 |
