About the Item

Signed and dated '48 recto, signed verso. John von Wicht (German-American, 1888 - 1970) was a painter and printmaker whose abstract works evolved from European modernism to dynamic, expressionistic forms. Born in Holstein, Germany, he studied at the Grand Duke of Hesse’s private school and the Royal School for Fine and Applied Arts in Berlin. After serving in World War I, he immigrated to the United States, experimenting with abstraction and showing at the Whitney Museum and Passedoit Gallery. Von Wicht’s work integrated geometric and organic forms, often inspired by calligraphy and music. Our exhibit features several beautifully framed von Wicht works on cotton paper, highlighting the vibrant color, spatial complexity, and masterful surface handling that define his oeuvre.
