Signed Coastal Range Artwork 10.25x8.25" Peter and Traudl Markgraf were born in Germany in the mid-1920s. They studied art in Munich and met at art school. They became pacifists and left Germany in 1957 when the German government re-introduced the military draft. The family initially lived in Beloeil, east of Montreal, and moved to Hudson in 1962. Peter and Traudl started printing small editions of Group of Seven artists such as Tom Thomson and A.Y Jackson and Quebec Artists such as Alfred Pellan, Jean-Paul Riopelle and Jean-Paul Lemieux. For the 1967 Centennial, the Canada Council partnered with the Markgrafs to publish editions of new Canadian artists such as Molly Lamb Bobak, Jacques Hurtubise, Jack Bush, Guido Molinari and Joyce Wieland. The resulting prints were not only accurate reproductions, but because they were made by hand, they often captured the spirit of the original paintings. The National Gallery considered them works of art in their own right and still maintains a collection of Markgraf prints. In 1976, the new Quebec government took control of arts funding in the province and decided reproductions were out. With the National Gallery in Ottawa out of the picture as well, Peter and Traudl were short of work. They decided to relocate to BC and start doing only their own work. They found great success with their new technique; their shading techniques were ideal for recreating the fog and mists of the BC coast. This is a Coastal Range artwork piece, measuring 10.25" x 8.25". It features a beautiful mountain scene and is signed by the artists. The artwork is in good condition, perfect for adding a touch of nature to your home or office decor.
