ABSTRACT MIXED MEDIA PAINTING BY HENRYK BERLEWI
Henrik Berlewi, Polish, 1894 to 1967, mixed media painting board depicting a Constructivist abstract composition. Signed lower left. Framed. Henryk Berlewi was born in Poland in 1894. He became a painter, graphic designer, typographer and critic. Henryk Berlewi was a major figure of constructivist art in Poland during the 1920s. He studied at the Academies of Fine Arts in Warsaw 1904 to 1909, Antwerp 1909 to 1910 and Paris 1911 to 1912. In 1913, Berlewi went back to Warsaw to pursue his studies at the School of Design. During World War I, he discovered Futurism and Dadaism. In 1921, he met El Lissitzky and followed him to Berlin where he abandoned figurative art for pure constructivist abstraction. In 1924, Berlewi published his manifest Mechano Faktura, Mechano Faktur, a rhythm of geometric shapes and pure colors, which give the illusion of vibration and movement, in the Der Sturm journal. The same year, his first solo exhibition was held at the Austro Daimler automobile showroom in Warsaw. In 1926, Berlewi put an end to his research on Mechano Faktura to return to figurative art and theatre sets. One of a kind artwork.
