HANSEN-BAHIA, Karl-Heinz (1915 Hamburg – 1978 São Paulo) Genre scene from South America Woodcut. Monogrammed “KH” in the upper left corner of the block; stamped “Kunsthandlung Nettels, Münster” on the reverse. 54.5 x 43 cm. 57 x 46 cm. Surface has scratches; minor wear along the edges. Actually Karl-Heinz Hansen, German painter and woodcut artist, teacher of woodcut in Tittmoning. “So if Hansen-Bahia’s formal language seems ‘brutal,’ this corresponds to the first law, that the subject matter brings the form with it; and to the other, that the form must devour the subject matter. But this material is monstrous, and the form is like a giant serpent after a feast, marked by what it has devoured.” (Steffen Andres on Hansen-Bahia, https://www.hansen-bahia.de/).
