Original lithograph by American artist Siegfried Gerhard Reinhardt (1925-1984)

(SHIPPING IS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE USA ONLY, ONLY DOMESTIC SHIPPING WITHIN THE US. Thank you) This listing is for ONE of 5 original medium-sized offset color lithographs by American superrealist artist Siegfried Gerhard Reinhardt (1925-1984) from a series made for the Encyclopaedia Britannica (not all of the 5 lithographs together, only one of them). I ran into these lithographs at an antique fair, and was instantly stopped by them. They offer a unique and intriguing mix of realism and dreamlike, sometimes even psychedelic quality (in the vein of surrealism), which definitely fits the label of superrealism, commonly used to characterize Reinhardt’s work. One understands that these works describe aspects of nature or of human life, with a realistic, almost scientific eye (as they were commissioned as illustrations for the Encyclopaedia Britannica), but at the same time cannot stay indifferent to the poetic that imbues these images and gives them a strong appeal of mystery. Siegfried G. Reinhardt was a prolific, pioneering American artist and teacher, based in St. Louis, Missouri. Some of his works are housed at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and at the Vatican Museum Picture Gallery, among others.
