Edgar Yaeger Signed Woodblock Print on Paper Still Life
Item Details
A woodblock print on paper of a still life by well-listed American artist Edgar Yaeger (1904 – 1997). Printed in deep red, this still life set on a table includes a bowl of fruit and two pears arranged on some papers. The word ‘Paper’ appears in reverse on the top piece of paper resting on the table. The still life is framed by drapery to the top left corner and a lively patterned wall in the background. It is signed by hand in graphite to the lower right margin. Presented in white matting and wrapped in acetate.
Known for his modern abstract style and his WPA murals of the Depression era, Yaeger was influenced by European modernists such as Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso and Giorgio de Chirico. Yaeger’s work has been exhibited at many institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Corcoran Gallery, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, among others.
