Sheet sizes: 39.5 x 54 cm to 49 x 61 cm. A beautiful collection featuring mostly maritime motifs by the artist Fritz Kronenberg (1901–1960), who lived in Hamburg from 1927 onward and was a member of the Hamburg Secession beginning in 1928. In 1937, some of his works were confiscated from public collections as part of the Nazi “Degenerate Art” campaign. In the mid-1950s, the “German Bob Ross” explained various artistic techniques to an interested audience in his own NDR television series “Painting with Fritz Kronenberg.” - A color lithograph with a short tear at the bottom edge and traces of a previous mounting on the reverse; the other sheets are mostly mounted on backing cardboard in the corners on the reverse, slightly browned, partly stained, and somewhat creased.
