Lev Simak Original 1950 Czech Woodcut Signed Print, MCM 26x19

An exceptional, highly collectible piece of European mid-century modernism: an original 1950 graphic woodcut (or linocut) print by the renowned, listed Czech artist Lev Šimák (1896–1989). Titled in pencil "Neděle na čistcích - doprovod 1950" (Sunday in the Clearings - accompaniment) and hand-signed and dated by the artist in the lower margin. This striking, atmospheric piece depicts a surreal, moody village landscape at night under a massive textured full moon. Šimák’s masterfully dense, high-contrast block printing style gives the scene an incredible folk-art depth blended with avant-garde surrealism. Professionally matted and housed in a vintage black frame with elegant gold trim, entirely finished and ready to hang. A premier find for collectors of international printmaking, Eastern European avant-garde, or mid-century brutalist decor.
