a striking vintage 1950s original relief print on paper titled "Herbst Blüten" (Autumn Flowers) and numbered 175 out of an edition of 200 by artist Hermann Ober (1920-1997, b. Germany). A fantastic mid century abstract modernist composition by an internationally recognized post-war German artist! Here's a short bio that I put together from various sources online: ------------------------- Ober was born in the town of Freilassing - a suburb of Salzburg, Austria just across the border in Germany, in 1920. He studied with the artist Engelbert Staller, a church painter from his home town, and had his first exhibition of his artwork at the tender age of 17. Ober was called up for service in 1939 and served in the ‘mountain troops’ a local reserve in the area. In 1942 he was wounded by a grenade explosion, and he subsequently lost his leg. He returned to his home town where he continued to study art during the final years of the war. After the war ended, Ober studied with Slavi Soucek in Salzburg, and in Munich where he completed his ‘master painter’ degree. This was where he was first exposed to the international Modernism movement, and he resolved that abstract art was his main interest going forward. In 1951 he was a founding member of the Salzburg Group. His artworks are in the collections of many museums worldwide including the V&A in London, the Museum of Modern Art in Kamakura Japan, the Cincinnati Museum in Ohio, and many museums throughout Germany and Austria. ---------------------------- This original relief print was made by the artist in the late 1950s, and measures 19-1/2" by 15-1/4". It is signed, numbered and titled in pencil by the artist at front as shown. There are also gallery notes at back as shown from the Eric Locke Gallery of San Francisco, and Eric Locke purchased the artwork directly from the artist in the late 1950s. Excellent vintage condition - never been framed, just slight yellowing to the paper, but no damage of any kind.
