Title:	Study of a Man
Artist:	Orlowski, Hans Otto 'Hans Orlowski' (Insterburg, 1894 - Berlin, 1967)
Date:	c. 1945 - 1950
Medium:	Original Woodcut
Note:	Hans Otto Orlowski 'Hans Orlowski': A major twentieth century German woodcut artist and painter, Hans Orlowski studied art at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Berlin-Charlottenburg from 1911 to 1915. His studies were then temporarily postponed by the First World War and for the following three years Orlowski served in the German military. He resumed his education in 1918 at the National Art School, Berlin, under Philipp Franck.
	As early as 1918, Hans Orlowski participated with the revolutionary Berlin Secessionist movement and was a regular exhibitor with them. His initial art from this period displays strong elements of Expressionism. In 1924, however, Hans Orlowski grew dissatisfied with expressionist tendencies and destroyed much of his early works. His art after this time bears an unmistakable, unique stamp which is impossible to classify under any general category.
	Hans Otto Orlowski became a professor of art at the Kunstgewerbeschule, Berlin, in 1921 and held that post until 1945. From that position he both taught and influenced many of Germany's finest artists of the later twentieth century. During this time his art was also widely exhibited in Berlin, Munich, Linz, Wuerzburg and in international exhibitions in the United States, England and France. In 1954 Hans Orlowski received the prestigious Kunstpreis der Stadt Berlin.
	Hans Orlowski created an important oeuvre of original woodcuts, both as individual works and as illustrations for livres d'artiste. In this latter category he illustrated such fine books as Goethe's, Nature (1932), Thomas Wolfe's, Of Time and the River (1939), Kranz's, Der Ritt mit dem Henker (1943), Dostoevsky's, Grand Inquisitor (1953), Schiller's, Kassandra (1959), Der Psalter (1961) and Orpheus and Eurydice (1961). Because Study of a Man is hand-signed by the artist it was published as an individual work of art. With its sweeping movement and powerful lines it is an outstanding example of Otto Orlowski's great woodcut art.
