Title:	Kultur
Artist:	Lepere, Auguste-Louis (Paris, 1849 - Domme, 1918)
Date:	1914
Medium:	Original Woodcut & Wood Engraving
Publisher:	Sagot, Paris
Note:	Auguste-Louis Lepere 'Auguste Lepere': A French painter and etcher of the first order, Auguste Lepere was also the undisputed leader in the creative revival of wood engraving in Europe. At age thirteen, Lepere began his artistic education in the Paris studio of the engraver, Smeeton. By the mid 1870's, Lepere had clearly emerged as one of the most renowned printmakers of his time.
	In both etching and wood engraving, Auguste-Louis Lepere became known as the prime delineator of daily life. Yet he was also a tireless experimenter with innovations such as combining etching and wood engraving on the same print. As well, he was one of the first artists to experiment with coloured papers and often had his own papers made.
	The last years of Lepere's life were given almost exclusively to wood engraving. In total Auguste Lepere's graphic oeuvre consists of over one hundred and fifty etchings, over two hundred wood engravings and fourteen lithographs. His brilliant art is represented in most major international collections.
	During the first year of World War One, Auguste-Louis Lepere created a small set of woodcuts in response to the horrors of global conflict. They are quite unlike anything else he engraved during his life, and in their intensity and feeling can only be allied to Goya's great series, 'The Disasters of War'. It is most interesting to note that Lepere's emotionally charged style in these works of art is very comparable to the beginnings of German Expressionism, which had just begun to develop at this time. Lepere, like his German contemporaries such as Otto Dix, was reacting against man's savage brutalities.
	These woodcuts are very scarce. They were published in a signed, limited edition of only thirty-five, by the great Paris printer and publisher, 'Sagot'. One should note the blindstamp of 'Sagot' under August Lepere's signature. As well these valuable woodcuts were printed upon Auguste-Louis Lepere's personal hand-made paper. Each bears the artist's snail watermark with his 'A.L.' monogramme.
