Kralik, Hanns (German, 1900-1971), An Der Hobelbank [At The Workbench], 1932, linocut on laid paper, signed, titled and dated at bottom, impression 14 x 10.75 inches, full sheet 18 x 12 inches, unframed. A striking image from the later years of German Expressionism. Kralik was a painter, printmaker and an active member of the resistance against the Nazis and spent some time in the Börgermoor concentration camp for his Communist activity. He was a member of the Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus and Assoziation revolutionärer bildender Künstler. His early Social Realism prints also show the influence of George Grosz. Provenance: gift of the artist to a Jewish German family that fled Europe in 1936.
