About the Item

Otto Greis Untitled Composition VI (Gestural Abstraction, Lyrical, Tachisme, Expressionism) Original Silkscreen on Fine Vellum Year: 1960 Sheet Size: 7.6 × 5.625 inches (19.30 × 14.29 cm) Mat Size: 10.6 × 8.125 inches (26.92 × 20.64 cm) *Framed Size: 16.75 x 12.75 x 1 inches (42.55 × 32.39 × 2.54 cm) Edition Size: 50 Unsigned, not individually numbered Publisher: Agis Verlag GmbH, Baden-Baden, Germany Printer: Atelier Horst Brandt, Frankfurt a. Main, Germany Gallery-issued COA provided *Could come framed in a simple white or black frame made from composite wood with standard plex for an additional $55. Imaginationen (1960) is an important early graphic portfolio by German abstract artist Otto Greis, created during a pivotal period in postwar European abstraction. Associated with the influential postwar movement informally known as Quadriga, Greis was among the artists who helped redefine German painting after World War II through gestural abstraction, material experimentation, and an emphasis on spontaneity and emotional expression. The Imaginationen folio reflects Greis’s transition from figurative tendencies toward a more lyrical and intuitive abstraction. Executed in a loose, energetic visual language, the works emphasize movement, texture, and compositional rhythm rather than representation. The title itself—translated as “Imaginations”—suggests an inward, subjective process rooted in improvisation and subconscious association, aligning the portfolio with broader developments in Art Informel and Tachisme across Europe during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Greis’s works from this period are characterized by expressive brushwork, layered surfaces, and a sensitive balance between structure and freedom. Even in graphic media, his compositions retain a painterly immediacy, often emphasizing gesture and spatial tension. The Imaginationen portfolio stands as an important example of postwar German printmaking and demonstrates Greis’s commitment to abstraction as a means of psychological and formal exploration. Today, Otto Greis is recognized as a significant figure within German Art Informel, and his works are included in major museum and institutional collections throughout Europe.

Otto Neumann (1895-1975) was a German Expressionist painter and printmaker. His monotypes evolved from sharp, angular, black and whites to late abstract prints in a variety of colors. Neumann lived through revolutionary changes in the art world of prewar and postwar Germany. He was a prolific artist in Germany during a time of the country’s unprecedented academic and intellectual growth. His early work shows the influence of both French masters like Cezanne and the contemporary style that was then being developed by German Expressionists like Kirchner. A master printmaker, Neumann was also inspired by the works of Albrecht Durer, whose allegorical subject-matter and unmatched drawing technique Neumann would emulate throughout his career. A lifetime preoccupation with the human figure informs his work, with frieze-like human figures recalling ancient Greek art...
