Gernot Kissel, Portraits, Nudes and Landscapes, 3 signed colour lithographs Gernot Kissel, 1939 Worms - 2008 Römerberg/Southern Palatinate, painter best known for his expressive female nudes and portraits; shown here: Landscape, colour lithograph, 54 x 68 cm, signed, numbered 121/150; Female nude, colour lithograph, 22.5 x 26.5 cm, signed, with dedication, inscribed ‘E.A.’; Seated Woman, colour lithograph, 100 x 65 cm, signed, numbered 21/150, without frame About the artist: Gernot Kissel’s still lifes and landscapes are typical Expressionist works featuring vibrant colours and bold lines. However, the artist is best known for his female nudes and portraits, which are painted with an almost unsettling self-assurance. In his landscape paintings, Kissel is committed to Neo-Impressionism. His paintings do not depict a specific landscape or even document it; rather, he regards the natural subject-which usually stems from his inner visions-as an invitation to arrive at a painterly solution.
