LÁSZLÓ PÉRI (1898-1967), KAREL MAES (1900-1974), & JOZEF PEETERS (1895-1960)

[COMPOSITIONS / SPACE CONSTRUCTION / DER OVERZICHT]. Group of 7 linocuts. 1920s.

Sizes vary, each approximately 12x11 inches, 30½x28 cm.
Condition varies, generally A-: some with minor creases and darkening; some hand-signed, others stamped with E.M. (Emanuel Maeyens). Paper, one printed on tissue, one on orange paper.

Group includes linocut proofs, some for Het Overzicht - "The Overview," a Flemish publication, characterized by its first and second series. Jozef Peeters was a Belgian artist with ties to Futurism, who designed the covers for the 2nd half of the publications run, and was the co-editor. Series II also delves into avant-garde movements such as De Stijl (by Karel Maes), Constructivism, and Bauhaus (Moholy-Nagy).

Items stamped E.M. are from Emanuel Maeyens' collection, not designed by him. Emanuel Maeyens ran an art supply shop, which was often advertised in issues of Het Overzicht. Maeyens' collection included prints by international members of the avant-garde, including the three represented here. Linocuts by Hungarian Constructivist artist Péri are from his "Space Construction" series, which was exhibited at Der Sturm gallery alongside Moholy-Nagy. Images available upon request.
