Vintage LYONEL FEININGER (1871-1956) Original Woodcut “Fishing Boats”
This original vintage woodcut by German-American artist Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956) depicts a Cubist rendition of the titled fishing boats along a dock. Originally published by the Print Club of Cleveland, this special edition run was hand printed by Ukrainian-American artist Jacques Hnizdovsky (1915-1985) in 1971. Feininger was a leading exponent of the German Expressionist movement that overtook the Berlin art scene within the interwar years. Framed in black, this woodcut is brimming with Modernist insight and is a must-have for any serious art enthusiast.
About the Artist:
Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956) was a German-American painter involved in the Cubist and Expressionist movements of the early 20th century. Born and raised in New York City, Feininger moved to Germany at the age of 16 to study art. He began a career as a caricature artist and cartoonist to much praise. Feininger continues to be a widely studied artist and was the subject of a major retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2011.

KAREL APPEL (1921-2006) Signed Color Lithograph “Heads Everywhere”
Color lithograph by famed Dutch artist Karel Appel (1921-2006) depicts an abstracted scene in tones of flesh pinks, reds, and blues and enveloped by black line work and wash. Appel’s postmodernist sensibility to this work creates a brutally beautiful piece of art to add to the collection. Titled “Heads Everywhere”, this lithograph was originally purchased on Broad Street at the Columbus branch of the Pace Gallery in the 1960s-1970s. Dated to 1958, this lithograph is framed in black and signed and numbered in pencil by Appel at the bottom of the print.
About the Artist:
Karel Appel was born in 1921 in the Netherlands, completing his first painting at the age of fourteen and eventually studying at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Appel had his first show in 1946 and joined CoBrA in 1948; a movement named by the Belgian poet Christian Dotremont from the initials of the members' home countries' capital cities: Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam. Appel’s work displayed spontaneous picture language and childish techniques to conjure fascinating images. His 1949 fresco 'Questioning Children' was placed in Amsterdam City Hall and caused controversy for this reason, causing the work to be covered up for ten years. Appel became the most famous of the CoBrA artists, with shows extending to the United States and portraits of jazz greats Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie becoming subject matter. Appel suffered from a heart ailment and died in 2006 at his home in Zurich, Switzerland.

ROBERT MARTIN (1918-1998) Original Oil on Canvas “Construction Vehicles”
Original oil on canvas by Ohio-based artist Robert Martin (1918-1998) depicts construction vehicles at work against a stylized blue sky. Martin chooses to create a hefty, opaque image in this piece, allowing the dirt and color of his forms to take on a soft appeal to the viewer. A darker, earthy palette intermingles with the yellows of the vehicles to create a truly modern piece of art. Housed in a white frame, this painting is signed by Martin in the lower left corner of the painting.
About the Artist:
Robert Martin (1918-1998) was born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised by his grandmother. His grandmother, having grown up in the Victorian Era, is responsible for the period’s influence on his early works. Martin studied the painting from books of the masters, old and new. He worked from life, enjoying the process and interaction that was created. In the 1980s, he began working from photographs with his series of Victorian Village scenes. An ever-learning student, his work has distinctly different decades reflecting his progress and interests. Persisting was his use of oil on canvas, despite his training in other mediums. His poetic soul was evident in his philosophy as an artist.

Original oil on canvas by Ohio-based artist Robert Martin (1918-1998) depicts a worker amongst construction vehicles, a darkened sky formed overhead.

A darker, earthy palette intermingles with the yellows and reds of the vehicles to create a truly modern piece of art. Housed in a white frame, this painting is signed by Martin in the lower right corner of the painting.
