BOOKMARK :
HANS L. LEISCH
Hans L. Leisch was one of a handful of Austrian order artists in the 1920's and 1930's capturing the historic sites of famous German artists and Landmarks in silk. Leisch was known for his etchings in and around Vienna, mostly in the 1920s and 30s. He worked in color etching and lithography, and often printed his works on silk instead of paper. These rare pieces are now surfacing as vintage pieces throughout Europe and are finding their way here, to North America. Another well known artist, a contemporary of Leisch, Hans Figura, travelled in Europe, had offices in London and New York and was still printing and hand-coloring prints up until the late 1970's. Hans Leisch however, never left Vienna and although having died much earlier has left us a wealth of Austrian landscapes, famous sites and incidental pieces.
