Melanie Alice Jooss
1915 Woodblock Engraving- Forest Scene

 

This large woodblock engraving is signed MJA and dated 1915. We believe based on the monogram and the difficult-to-read signature in the margins that it is the work of the German artist Melanie Alice Jooss who was born in 1883.

SOLD

Striking image showing an strong German expressionist influence.
