Emil Schumacher

Emil Schumacher 1912 - 1999 Bleibild B-3/1970. 1970. Mixed media. Rolled lead with asphalt on hardboard. Signed in the lower right corner. Signed, dated, and labeled “B-3/1970” on the reverse. 99.5 x 78 cm (39.1 x 30.7 in). In the original frame. [AW]. • Using asphalt and rolled lead, Emil Schumacher breaks the rules of painting in this work. • The protagonist of German Informalism creates an impressive haptic presence. • Gestural, expressive work with deliberate color reduction and the original artist's frame. • In 1959, 1964, and 1977, Schumacher participated in documenta II, III, and 6 in Kassel. The work is registered at the archive of the Emil Schumacher Foundation in Hagen, Germany, under the inventory number “0/73.” We are grateful to Mr. Rouven Lotz, director of the Emil Schumacher Museum in Hagen, for his kind asexpert advice.
