Silkscreen serigraph Op art print.
Luitpold Domberger (1912-2005 ) was a pioneer of artistic screen printing in Germany.
Luitpold (Poldi) Domberger studied from 1928 at the art and trade school in Pforzheim, where he then worked as a freelance commercial artist before moving to Stuttgart in the mid-1930s. At the end of the 1940s he came into contact with the new medium of screen printing through a visit to an exhibition in the Amerikahaus in Stuttgart. He set up his first screen printing workshop in 1949 at Gänsheidestrasse 26 in Stuttgart. His neighbor there was the artist Willi Baumeister. The screen printer and the artist worked together, which resulted in almost 60 serigraphs being produced between 1950 and Baumeister's death in 1955. Inspired by the first exhibitions of the Baumeister screen prints, other artists soon also had Domberger print. In the years that followed, Domberger had a decisive influence on the newly emerging profession of the screen printer; Young printers like Hans-Peter Haas emerged from his workshop. At the end of the 1960s, Edition Domberger was founded at the new printing site in Plattenhardt near Stuttgart, and it still exists today under the management of his son, the screen printer Michael Domberger.
From the 1950s onwards Domberger created serigraphs for many internationally known artists, including Max Ackermann , Josef Albers , Keith haring, Cy Twombly, Max Bill , Richard Estes , Adolf Fleischmann , Otto Herbert Hajek , Richard Hamilton , Robert Indiana , Nicholas Krushenick , Roy Lichtenstein , Georg Karl Pfahler , Victor Vasarely and Ben Willikens. From Pop art and Op art to Minimalism, Photorealism and Conceptual art. They have a long history of working with women artists, among them German conceptualist Hanne Darboven and Anni Albers. They also had an instinct for cool Op artists, and, in particular, the hard-edge color-field painters of the 1960s. Prints from Domberger can now be found all over the world at trade fairs, in the art trade and in many graphics auctions and collections
