Erich Dietrich, (German, b. 1890)  Osterspaziergang , 1919 Lithograph print  Signed lower right in pencil and in plate 16 by 12 inches (page) 12 by 11 inches (image) Published by Euphorion Verlag, Berlin From Die Schaffenden, 1. Jahrgang, 4. Mappe, 1919. From the printing of 125. Fine vintage condition. Never framed with partial publisher blindstamp lower right corner.  From AskArt, "Despite a secluded life in Upper Austria, Alfred Kubin was one of the most frequently exhibited artists of his time. As the only Austrian member of the artist group "Blauer Reiter", he knew many important personalities of his time, studied works by artists such as Goya or Munch and developed his unique style from them. Alfred Kubin's numerous illustrations and drawings are characterized by fantastic, horrifying and symbolistically charged dream visions. His narrative pictorial compositions reflect deep fears and longings, which Kubin executes with nets of lines, hatching and flowing transitions between the forms. Kubin created the ink drawing "Indians" in a recognizable expressive style. Through a dense tangle of lines, two riders with feather headdresses can be seen on their horses, striding through an open forest. The proportions of the horses are unrealistically long and seem to conform to the human body shape. The confusing linework and the rearing of the horse create a charged atmosphere, which is emphasized by two human figures excitedly raising their hands on the lower left edge of the picture. The drawing testifies to Kubin's interest in fantastic, dreamlike subjects and the expressive style characteristic of the 1910s." From a large group of German Expressionist prints from the Ismar Littmann Family Collection of German Expressionism and European Avant-Garde. As Swann wrote in its 2019 offering where this print was purchased, “Few collectors in Breslau during the early 1900s had a passion for connoisseurship, collecting and the visual arts equal to Ismar Littmann (1878-1934). Born in Gross Strehlitz, Upper Silesia, between Breslau and Kraków, Littmann completed doctoral studies of law in 1902 and several years later settled in Breslau where he established a legal practice. As his business grew over the next decade and he became enmeshed in Breslau’s art scene, Littmann began acquiring art with an unabated intensity from the late 1910s to the late 1920s. He married Käthe Frankel in 1907 and partnered with the lawyer Max Loewe to establish the firm of Littmann and Loewe around 1921. By the end of the 1920s, Littmann had amassed a collection of more than 6,000 works of art, incorporating some 300 oil paintings, 50 major watercolors and the remainder (more than 5,500 total), predominantly works on paper, including prints and drawings. His pursuit, aside from an unbridled enthusiasm for collecting, appears to have been ultimately to establish a permanent public collection for many of his works. Though he lent some to significant exhibitions in Breslau in 1929, 1930 and 1933, and was a co-founder of the Breslau Jewish Museum, his vision for a public collection went unfulfilled, halted by the Nazis’ rise to power and his ensuing personal misfortune.
