Experimental intaglio with aquatint
5’’ x 4.5’’
Collection of Charles Dean and Sinan Karabas
Emil Schumacher (1912 -1999) was a German abstract expressionist painter, celebrated for his bold, gestural works that emphasized the materiality of paint over representation. A co-founder of the Junger Westen group, he gained international recognition through exhibitions like the Venice Biennale and documenta. His style evolved from Cubist roots to richly textured abstracts incorporating unconventional materials such as straw, asphalt, and lead. He held professorships in Hamburg and Karlsruhe, created public mosaics in Rome, won honors like the Guggenheim Award, and was commissioned for a Reichstag mural in 1998. The Emil Schumacher Museum in Hagen, opened in 2009, preserves his legacy.
