Title:	MadchensKopf (Girl's Head)
Artist:	Budzinski, Robert (Klein-Schlafken, East Prussia (Germany), 1874 - Marburg, 1955)
Date:	1917
Medium:	Original Drypoint Engraving
Note:	Robert Budzinski: An important East German (specifically Prussian) artist of the early twentieth century, Robert Budzinski is famous both for his original prints and illustrated books. Robert Budzinski both wrote and illustrated such books as Entdeckung Ostdeutschlands ,1914, ('Discovery in Eastern Germany'), Kuri-neru, and Der Mond fallt auf Westpreusen ('The Moon is in West Prussia'). As well, he illustrated numerous literary works, such as Theodor Storm's, Die Sohne des Senators (1924), and (beginning in 1920) created and published the Ostmarkkalender.
	As an original printmaker Robert Budzinski was equally adept at etching, lithography, woodcuts and linocuts. As well as creating individual works of art in these media, such as this original drypoint engraving, he was frequently commissioned for his ex-libris bookplates. He most often printed his own works. Few were published in numbered editions but it is known that most were printed in small numbers of twenty-five impressions or less.
	Stylistically, Robert Budzinski has sometimes been described as an Impressionist. His oeuvre, however, is far too varied for any such classification. Within Robert Budzinski's graphic art we see the work of a constant innovator and experimenter. Drawing upon Impressionistic, Symbolist and Expressionistic elements, his art is clearly both unique and compelling. In this portrait engraving, "MadchensKopf" (Girl's Head), Robert Budzinski has fashioned both a compelling and unforgettable image with the greatest economy of line.
	During his career Robert Budzinski was an active participant in the Wandervogel and Lebensreform movements. The Lebensreform Bewegung ('Life Reform movement') was a loosely organized but widespread phenomenon in early twentieth century Germany which opposed the rise of industrialization and urbanization. It advocated such varied activities as naturalistic agriculture, medicine and nutrition.
	Robert Budzinski lived and worked in the east Prussian cities of Konitz, Konigsberg and Marburg. Today his art is included in such collections as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Universitatsmuseum fur Kunst and Kulturgeschichte, Marburg.
