Barge Beasts (Shoebills) (Kahnschnäbel) - NORBERTINE BRESSLERN-ROTH

Medium: linocut printed in colors

NORBERTINE BRESSLERN-ROTH
Austrian, (1891-1978)

Linocut printed in colors, circa 1928, edition unknown. 9 1/8 x 8 1/8 in. Signed in pencil and inscribed, "Handdruck." This is a fine impression with fresh colors. The margins are narrow. The condition is fine apart from a speck of ink on the left margin, center, and slight toning on the verso largely from the dark colors showing through. With a tremendous sense of ornamentation, the artist uses two circles and a curved line to evoke the impression of a murky pool from which these birds fish for their prey. It turns out that Bresslern-Roth made a trip to Africa in 1928 and shoebills are native to that continent.      $1,600
