Eva Roemer (18 - 19)

EvR

This group of 9 small prints in different sizes was acquired in America. They were possibly ordered and send to a relative or to friends. As long as they had an emotional meaning to the owner (the addressed or relatives) they have always remained together.  7 of them are annotated in English “Original woodcut” the other 2 in German suggesting they were specially created for the purpose.  

Archive  

Eva Roemer was a very prolific printmaking artist. In all these archive paragraphs are shared the pictures from the (my, collection’s) archive. It does not pretend to be complete and by no means a catalog. They represent the pictures I saw, found and saved along my the building of this collection. They served me as a guide and database to know “what is out there and may be found one day”. To this day I think 95% of  what Modern Printmaking 1900-1940 has produces is mostly unchartered territory.


Eva Roemer today is one the most collectable modern printmakers, also in the New World. She was a descendant of family godfather Moses Mendelsohn (1729-1786) and great-granddaughter of Fanny: the composer’s sister.
