Featured Help with Signature on Block Print

Can someone make out the signature on this print? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Hi Graymich 64. Can you give any more information,where it was acquired,picture of frame,picture of back,any label on back.As it is its just a random signature ,not much to go on.

 

Very much influenced by German Expressionism and its woodcuts.

There is nothing on the back. There is only a signature. Not much to go on. It just looks very well done. I picked it up at a antiques fair. No history available.

 

An antiques fair in what country? And why don't you open up the back and see if any information to be found inside?

I took the foam board off the back. I attached a couple photos. I found it last
weekend at a fair in Tucson, Arizona. Thank you

 

No date or edition number anywhere on it ?

 

A nice circus / cabaret character theme. It's also nice to hear from a fellow Tucsonan.

 

Flagstaff,Tuscon,Sedona-all mighty nice...Phoenix,eh...

 

Do you think it just says "Germany?"

Debora

 

And I thought it might possibly say "Sammy" or something of the like....anyone's guess!! MAYBE it does just say "Germany"!!! The more I look at it.....I like the print, at any rate!!

 

OTOH, I copied and enlarged the signature....up to 3X.....you can pretty much see there's probably not enough to assign to any artist.... at least it has a nice plain background around it......sorry!​

Def a nice homage to German Expressionism.

 

Have to agree with Debora,seems like Germany to me too.

 

Belgium had similar Expressionist woodcuts, and caricatures are a very Belgian thing (Ensor for instance).

The second letter looks like an 'a' to me, the third an 'm' or 'n'. So (G)am or (G)an, not Ger.
I can't think why a German (or Belgian) artist would sign or name his work 'Germany', instead of Deutschland (or Duitsland/Allemagne). Or use the name of their country or neighbouring country as a title or signature at all.

 

Good point re Deutschland.
