About the Item
A fine, 1930s Modern Art Deco pastel figure study of a standing nude by noted Chicago artist, Edmund W. Giesbert (Am. 1893-1971). A highly finished pastel completed most likely during one of the figure study classes taught by the artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago during the 1930s.
Artwork size: 18 x 12 inches (sheet), pastel on paper, signed "Giesbert", lower center. Unframed, presented in an archival mat measuring 14 x 18 inches (ready to frame).
Edmund Giesbert, a German-born painter and illustrator, taught in the Department of Art at the University of Chicago starting in 1927. Before arriving at the University of Chicago and the School of the Art Institute where he also taught classes, Giesbert was trained at the Vienna Academy and the Art Institute of Chicago. He became known for combining Impressionist and Expressionist styles in his boldly colored paintings, prints, and book illustrations. His work appeared in local and international annual exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago including The International Water Color Exhibition and The Annual Exhibition by Artists of Chicago and Vicinity in the 1920s and 1930s. On campus, he was featured in the 1939 exhibition "Edmund Giesbert: Drawings and Paintings" at the Renaissance Society, where he also hosted gallery talks and free sketch classes for students. In addition to teaching, Giesbert actively participated in exhibitions and public lectures in Chicago and won the Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Logan Prize awarded by the Committee on Painting and Sculpture of the Art Institute of Chicago for Uphill in 1929. His paintings can be found in Chicago collections, including a 1932 portrait of University of Chicago Anatomy Professor Robert R. Bensley commissioned by the University Board of Trustees.
Giesbert’s book illustrations also appeared in widely used educational texts in the 1930s and 1940s such as Peter Hagboldt and F. W. Kaufmann’s Basic German Reader (1943) and Louis H. Limper’s adapted and edited edition of Alphonse Daudet’s 1868 memoir Le Petit Chose (1934).
