An excellent vintage First Edition offset lithograph (colors were printed separately), print, after painting "Construction Legere" (Light Construction) by Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944). Comes from a First Limited Edition art folio published by Albert Skira in France, in 1947. Printed on one side. Hand tipped-in on a board of heavy paper. Information regarding the original artwork is printed under the piece. Superb quality of printing and materials. Very detailed. Excellent condition - minor edge wear on the board, never framed.
Overall 11"W x 14.75"H
Image 7.25"W x 10.75"H
I find it interesting that in this piece, under the plate, after the artist's name, the published put only the year of birth - 1866. Kandinsky passed away in France in 1944. It was post-WWII Europe. Could the published not know that the artist passed away just 3 years before this lithograph was published?
