Glicenstein, Enrico (Henryk) (Polish/Jewish/American, 1870-1942), Biblical Figures at the Well with Pigs, 1920, drypoint etching, signed and inscribed Roma in pencil underneath the image, impression size 9 x 7 inches, matted and framed 15 x 11 inches. Estate label affixed to the back of the frame. Provenance: The Estate of Hugo Dreyfuss (the son-in-law of the artist, who was married to Beatrice Glicenstein). Born in Switzerland in 1910, Dreyfuss started a textile business with his brother before moving to America in 1940. In the 1950s, he partnered with furniture designer Vladimir Kagan and designed and hand printed many fabrics for furniture and interior decorating. Hugo, Beatrice and her brother Emanuel Romano Glicenstein (who was also an artist) were the keepers and cataloguers of Glicenstein's body of work. Hugo worked on the biography/catalogue raisonne project that would become the book 'Life and Work of Enrico Glicenstein,' by Charlotte Sholod. The book was finally published in 2014, seven years after Hugo's death. Enrico Glicenstein's sculpture is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Hirshhorn Museum, Musee d'Art Moderne, Israel Museum, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Brooklyn Museum, Jewish Museum and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, among others. Glicenstein won the Prix de Rome in 1895 and 1896, and was the only sculptor to have exhibited jointly with Auguste Rodin, who was a close friend of Glicenstein's and one of his earliest admirers. In addition to sculpture, Glicenstein was also a respected painter and etcher. In seemingly good condition, unexamined outside of the frame; areas of darkening to the paper.
