It is in excellent condition, About the artist: Tanna Kasimir-Hoernes, wife of famous artist Luigi Kasimir and mother of equally renowned artist Robert Kasimir. However, Tanna's art speaks for itself. Her prodigious body of work ranges from a more rustic, rather Impressionist style to crisp, clean etchings that are almost photograph-like in their detail. Born in 1887, Tanna met her future husband Luigi at the turn of the 20th century, while they were both students at The Vienna Academy of Art under Wilhelm Unger. Tanna followed Luigi along an innovative path that led to the rebirth of the art of Etching, bringing new coloring techniques to an art form that had largely been black and white until then. They traveled extensively together throughout Europe and the United States - Tanna's art, like Luigi's. Luigi passed away in 1962, and Tanna followed in 1972, leaving behind a huge, world renowned body of work as well as son Robert who carried on the Kasimir name in his own right.

  • Agony - The architecture of decay -
    Located in Berlin, DE
    Jörg Olberg (*1956 Dresden), Agony, 1987. etching, E.A. (edition of 30), 24 x 17 cm (image), 46 x 37 cm (sheet), each signed in pencil lower right "Olberg" and dated "IX [19]87", inscribed lower left "E.A. [Epreuve d'Artiste]". - minimal crease and dust stains in the broad margin - The architecture of decay - About the artwork Jörg Olberg draws here the sum of his artistic study of the Berlin ruins, which were still present in the cityscape well into the 80s. With his work "Agony" he creates an allegory of decay. Positioned in the landscape of ruins, a ruined house grows before the viewer, rising like the Tower of Babel into the sky, its roof and gable brightly illuminated by the sun. But already the roof shows mostly only the rafters, and as the gaze is drawn further down, the building visibly disintegrates, the beams protruding in all directions looking like splintered bones. Slowly but inexorably - in agony - the house will collapse in on itself and become nothing more than the burial mound of itself. At the same time, the small-scale stone composition and the plaster form a pattern-like ornamentation of decay. The tension in the picture is fed by the counter-movement of growth and collapse, which is heightened by the dramatic formation of clouds. The swirls of clouds are reminiscent of a world landscape...
