Kurt OPITZ

 

(1887-1960)



German painter and illustrator Kurt OPITZ studied at the Leipzig Academy and remained most of his life in that city.

 

This intereting collage appears to have been a project for the cover for a collection of stories by Guy de Maupassant, the great French short story writer.

 

The artist is listed in the Benezit, Thieme-Becker, Vollmer, Dressler.

 

This unsigned and undated work shows the influence of Dadaism. There is a Nachlass Stempel (Estate Stamp) on the back.

"Spiel der Liebe" - The Game of Love"
