Death Leading a Woman Across a Bridge by Moonlight
Linocut, 180 x 229 mm. A fine impression in brown on brownish laid paper with full margins, signed with initials HG (?) and the number 30. This very striking print is clearly influenced by Edvard Munch but also shows similarities to the work of Christian Rohlfs. The rude bridge extends almost vertically toward the front of the print. Death and the woman are in the foreground, she partially turned to wave to a man standing at the mid point of the bridge. The moon casts his shadow on the bridge The sky is filled with near vertical streaks, almost certainly produced by manipulating ink on the surface of the block. A suggestion has been made that the print is by Hans Gött (1883-?) but there seems to be nothing in his background (he studied briefly with Matisse) to have produced an image such as this.
Addition and Correction: The print is actually by Hilde Goldschmidt (1897-1980, a German-Jewish artist born in Leipzig and who studied with Hugo Steiner-Prag, Otto Hettner and Oskar Kokoschka as well as also studying ballet. Goldschmidt left Germany in 1939 for London, but returned to the continent to live in Kitzbühel, Austria, where she died. She specialized in woodcuts. Tom Guarrera, dealer and inveterate researcher, came up with this information, the first and so far the only identification of an anonymous artist in this exhibition. We are very grateful to him.
