Offered here is a grouping vintage lithographs: "Zilzer, Gyula - lithographs - grouping of three", each about 9 5/8" X 12 1/8" in size. "Science in The Service of Death", "The Dread Angel of Distruction", and "Women and Children", portraying the horrors of Imperialist War in Europe and against Facism. Included is an article from The Sunday Worker newspaper, May 3, 1926 issue. Each is signed and dated 1932 (may be facimile signature) - The Dread Angel of Destruction has the signature and date in reverse. The painter and printmaker Gyula Zilzer was born in Budapest and studied art at the Royal Academy of Art there, and also at the Hans Hofmann School of Art in Munich, and in Paris. He exhibited internationally from the mid-1920s onwards, and had solo exhibitions in America at the Los Angeles Art Museum in 1943, and the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, San Francisco, in 1944.
He also worked as a production designer and art director in Hollywood, and worked on numerous films. These are of great interest - would be wonderful framed. They each have some minor stressing and Science In The Service of Death has a tiny tear and chip on the right edge near the bottom.
