Aus Dem Camposanto
Signed original woodcut on laid paper.
Printed in a small edition of 300 for the German Expressionist portfolio Ganymed. Published by R. Piper & Co., Marées-Gesellschaft, Munich.
German Expressionism was borne on a wave of resistance and reaction. At its core it was concerned with emotion and the individual experience. This scene is typical in subject matter featuring the inscription Komm süsser Tod ( Come sweet Death).
Seewald was a member of The "New Secession" ["Neue Sezession"], which was founded in Munich in December 1913, and soon also joined the "Deutscher Künstlerbund" soon after.The cultural and political changes that were taking place in Cologne made Richard Seewald decide in 1931 to settle in the Ticino. He did not return to Germany until 1948 and was not reintegrated in the cultural life of his native country until 1954.
