Note: |
Jutta Sika: An Austrian painter, printmaker and designer,
Jutta Sika was active in the Secessionist movement in the early twentieth
century. Like many Secessionists, Jutta Sika explored bold design concepts in
many forms of art. At the turn of the century she designed a number of
modernist ceramics for the Vienna porcelain company of Josef Bock. During
this period she also completed her formal art education at the Vienna Academy. |
|
During the following decades Jutta Sika painted many fine
landscapes, designed a number of post cards and experimented in many mediums
of the graphic arts. Gainfarn Bad Voslau is typical of Jutta Sika's accomplished
and complex methods of printmaking. Within this multi-coloured composition,
Jutta Sika has used etching in both hard and soft grounds as well as employing
aquatint to further expand tonal values. The colour range consists of
many distinct shades of blues, greens and browns. This etching is clearly
a master work of colour printmaking. |
|
By 1925 Jutta Sika's art was regularly exhibited in both Paris
and Vienna. Today museums in Germany, Austria, France and the United States
include her etchings, paintings and porcelains in the permanent collections. |
Size: |
9 1/4 X 12 3/8 (Sizes in inches are approximate,
height preceding width of plate-mark or image.) |

Condition: |
Printed on stiff wove paper and with wide margins. Some
matte burning is evident in the outer margins as well as framer's notations.
A hairline split (restored) has occurred along the plate-mark to the upper
left, due to the brittle nature of the paper. Else, a finely printed impression
with strong, unfaded colours. Signed, dated and titled in the plate to
the lower right. Also, titled and signed in pencil under the lower plate-mark.
This magnificent colour etching and aquatint represents a prime example
of the Austrian art of Jutta Sika. |
