- Lot Description
Yargo de Lucca (German Canadian, 1925-2008). "Canada Suite" series, 1976-1977. A wonderful trio of hand-signed and hand-numbered Inuit-inspired silkscreen prints by German Canadian artist Yargo de Lucca, delineated in stunning color palettes and de Lucca's signature Abstract Surrealist style. The first presents a loving couple embracing in the orange glow of the sun which is depicted as a vermilion orb to the left. Next is a group of five men who are arranged in a circle and appear to be drumming or engaged in a ritualistic activity, all delineated in chocolate brown against an orange ground with highlights of vermilion and cerulean blue. Finally, a scene of a man holding his hands up in an orant-like gesture accompanied by a bird and a fox, all delineated in a chocolate on cocoa brown palette. Size of plates: 13.3" L x 10.5" W (33.8 cm x 26.7 cm) Size of sheets: 18.5" L x 14.5" W (47 cm x 36.8 cm)
Yargo de Lucca was born in Kassel, Germany in 1925. He studied in Frankfurt, Munich as well as the Stuttgart Academy of Art with mentor Willi Baumeister. In 1951, de Lucca moved to Canada and became a Canadian citizen. He would eventually divide his time between his studios in Alternhein am Bodensee, Switzerland and Deux Montagnes, Canada. He also lived and worked in Alicante, Spain for a time.
De Lucca's work has been collected in major museums and collections including: Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Santa Barbara Museum of Art; Art Institute of Chicago; New Orleans Museum of Art; Musee des beaux-arts de Montreal; Musee national des beaux-arts du Quebec; National Gallery of Canada; Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo; Gezira Center for Modern Art; Pushkin Museum; Tel Aviv Museum of Art; Tate Gallery, London UK; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art; Moderna Museet; Stedelijk Museum; Museum Folkwang; Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna; Musee National d'Art Moderne, Paris France; Kunstmuseum St. Gallen; Vancouver Art Gallery; and Dominion Gallery Montreal.
