DAVID SCHNEUER “Night” Signed and Numbered Lithograph

“Night” by Expressionist artist David Schneuer is a signed and numbered lithograph depicting two men in hats, coats, and ties, intrigued by two dark hair women in red dresses. Sly expressions are true to the subtle sensuality of Schneur’s style. Numbered 7/300, signed in corner, well-framed in black and red with a white mat. 

About the Artist:
David Schneuer (1905-1988) was born in Austro-Hungary, raised mostly by his mother after losing his father in World War I. His family moved to Munich, which led him to go to Prussia to learn some practical skills to become a craftsman. He began sign painting in Berlin for six months before enrolling in the Berufsschule to learn finer aspects of art. A photographer named Tim Gidal whom he met in school convinced Schneur to journey to Paris, where he would stay for a year and a half. Schneuer was the kind of artist to rely on his imagination, gleaning from life and experiential observation. Upon his return to Germany in 1927, he began painting theater posters. His designs were balanced, creating stylized and dynamic figures that blurred the lines between illustration, drawing, and advertising. He found his niche in the new city of Tel Aviv, only 25 years old at the time of his introduction. The eclectic atmosphere allowed his art style to thrive. He settled there in 1933, and developed his Expressionist style until his death in 1988.
