Johnny Friedlaender (1912-1992, German/French) UNTITLED – Hand Signed, Limited Edition, color etching. The work of art is signed in pencil in the lower right and numbered 39/95 in the lower left. The abstract image measures 7.75 x 5.75 inches, the sheet measures 18.5 x 16 inches, and is encased in a 21.5 x 16-inch frame with glass. There are soft hinge impressions in the four corners and mild toning, otherwise it appears in good condition, although not examined outside the frame.

German born Friedlaender was an undisputed contemporary master of the etching. He studied art in Germany, but was interred in a Nazi camp, fled to Czechoslovakia, Holland and ultimately, France. He became known for his colored abstractions. He was also a painter, lithographer, illustrator, and instructor.
