Pevetz, Georg (1893-1971) - Ink on paper Signed lower right, dated center bottom Sheet size: 17.52in × 12.40in Georg Pevetz is regarded as one of the notable representatives of 20th-century Austrian art. His diverse oeuvre encompasses painting and graphic art, including woodcuts, etchings, and lithographs. In addition to landscapes, nudes, and still lifes, he also engaged intensively with religious subjects. His works are characterized by an expressive formal language, strong contrasts of light and dark, and dynamic line work, which lend his graphic works in particular a powerful and compelling presence. His religious depictions combine strong emotional expressiveness with a deliberate reduction and condensation of figures and forms.
