Schreker, Franz. (1878-1934). Large Original Etched Portrait, SIGNED by Schreker. A superb large etching of the important Austrian composer, numbered 9 of a small edition of 10. Boldly signed by the composer and by the artist, Heinrich Gottselig (1884-1935). Horizontal creases, one through width of sheet; toning, mostly outside of plate. Otherwise fine and quite scarce.
Schreker led the neo-Romantic movement in the direction of Expressionism and exerted considerable influence on the German and Viennese schools of his time. As Director of the Philharmonic Chorus, he led many important premieres, including of Schoenberg's Gurre-Lieder and was also closely associated with Zemlinsky. His many fine works are the subject of renewed enthusiasm in recent years.
