拍品专文

Like many artists, Werner Drewes immigrated to the United States in the 1930s when Nazi Germany began oppressing citizens' rights and freedoms. After settling in the United States, he became involved in American modern art movements and introduced his peers to the ideas and trends he had learned in Germany's esteemed Bauhaus design school. The present lot was used as the cover image for a series of ten prints by the artist, which celebrated freedom of expression through abstract images that would have been deemed unpatriotic and "degenerate" by the fascists in his homeland.
