1895
ink
From the collection of Rosenwald Collection
Pigs is a 1895 ink by August Gaul, a Impressionism work, depicting Sus Scrofa, held at Rosenwald Collection.
August Gaul carved this lithograph of three plump pigs rooting in the dirt. The artist knew animals well—he grew up on a farm before moving to the city. This print shows his knack for simple shapes and strong lines. Look closer at the way the ink holds the light on their backs. Then check out another August Gaul lithograph at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
August Gaul (German: ; October 22, 1869 – October 18, 1922) was a German sculptor and expressionism artist, born in Großauheim (now part of Hanau).
