"The German Tango," by Louis Raemaekers (c. 1916) DIMENSIONS • 9" x 12" (Image: 7.13" x 10.5") • 12" x 16" (Image: 9.5" x 14") • 16" x 20" (Image: 11.5" x 17") • 20" x 30" (Image: 16" x 23.63") • 24" x 36" (Image: 19" x 28") Archival Inkjet on Fine Art Paper Smooth Surface - Matte Finish - Inset Borders ABOUT THE ARTWORK ----------------------------- "The German Tango" is a political cartoon by Louis Raemaekers, an outspoken critic of Germany during the First World War. A 1916 collection of his works contains the following commentary by John Buchan: "A blonde woman, wearing the Imperial crown and with her hair braided in pigtails like a German backfisch, is whirling in a tango with a skeleton partner. Her face is livid with terror and fatigue, her limbs are drooping, but she is held by inexorable bony claws. On the feet of the skeleton are dancing pumps, a touch which adds to the grimness. This ghoulish dance does not lack its element of ghastly ceremonial. "The Dance of Death has long been the theme of the moralist in art, from Oreagna's fresco on the walls of the Campo Santo at Pisa to Holbein's great woodcuts and our own Rowlandson. In Germany especially have these macabre imaginings flourished. The phantasmagoria of decay has haunted German art, as it haunted Poe, from Dürer to Boecklin. But the mediaeval Dance of Death was stately allegory, showing the pageant of life brooded over by the shadow of mortality. In M. Raemaekers' cartoon there is no dignity, no lofty resignation. He shows Death summoned in a mad caprice and kept as companion till the revel becomes a whirling horror. "It is the profoundest symbol of the war. In a hot fit of racial pride, Death has been welcomed as an ally. And the dance on which Germany enters is no stately minuet with something of tragic dignity in it. It is a common vulgar shuffle, a thing of ugly gestures and violent motions, the true sport of degenerates. Once begun there is no halting. From East to West and from West to East the dancers move. There is no rest, for Death is a pitiless comrade. From such a partner, lightly and arrogantly summoned, there can be no parting. The traveler seeks a goal, but the dancers move blindly and aimlessly among the points of the compass. Death, when called to the dance, claims eternal possession." ART-CENTRIC DESIGN ----------------------------- Vintage art is not standardized. The original works are usually too long, or too short, to neatly fill a store-bought frame. Most shops arbitrarily crop the artwork to match, leading to claustrophobic prints with missing or partial elements. These modifications — sometimes trivial, sometimes ludicrous — are not always shown in the product photos. We believe that the purpose of art is not to fill a frame; it is the purpose of a frame to showcase the art. Our prints have inset borders that make up any differences in proportion between the artwork and a standard frame, so that you can experience the art as the artist intended. They look sharp in beveled mats, may be float mounted, or inserted directly into standard frames; the borders providing a mat-like accent around the image. There are many styles from which to choose. Framing is a fun, creative process that enhances the artwork and livens your space for years to come. Should you like any advice, feel free to reach out. CUSTOMIZATION AND IMAGE REQUESTS ----------------------------- We are happy to customize our prints to fit your frame. Borderless prints may require the artwork to be cropped to fit a new aspect ratio. In such cases, we will provide a mockup to ensure that the final product meets with your approval. If you’re looking for an artwork that is not in our catalog, feel free to ask if we can provide it. We will print any public domain or openly licensed image that is available in high resolution. MUSEUM QUALITY ----------------------------- Giclée process prints are the gold standard in fine art reproduction. We use a matte finish, cotton fiber paper to maximize detail while eliminating glare. Our prints display a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Produced using only archival materials, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them. HANDMADE DECLARATION ----------------------------- To assure artistic quality, all of our production and design is strictly in-house. Every print has been proofed, calibrated and inspected for defects. We do not drop ship, resell or make use of third-party production partners. SHIPPING AND PACKAGING ----------------------------- All orders ship within one business day via USPS First Class, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. Sizes 9” x 12” and 12” x 16” ship in a flat configuration, unless combined with larger prints, which require tubes. We will replace any lost or damaged items at no expense to you. HAPPINESS GUARANTEE ----------------------------- We will promptly address any issues that may arise with your order. If you are unhappy with your print for any reason, you are welcome to return it for a full refund.

Miko-Digipainting "0117 Networks 2017" (Digital-physical painting) Miko (Miechel Kockelkoren) I was born in 1953 and grew up in Mechelen, South Limburg in the Netherlands. In the 1980s I made artworks with acrylic and India ink. These were mainly nature and landscape works in South Limburg. After that, my busy graphic job kept my artistic expressions quiet for a long time, until 2012. I am a self-taught artist and was inspired by Victor Vasarely. In 2012 I started experimenting with Digital New Media on the computer. In 2013 I completed my first digital paintings. My abstract digital paintings are the result of a combination of manual sketching, photographic and digital techniques. With my versatile creativity and my sense of color and image, I have found my own individual creative expression when making digital paintings. I use the latest technology to physically manufacture the digital artworks in an extreme definition. The artwork is printed on high-quality professional Fuji Crystal DP II photo paper and permanently glued to a 3 mm. Aluminum Dibond base plate. Then, in a dust-free workshop, liquid water-clear Epoxy Clear Coating, with a crystal-clear glossy look, is made up to 2 to 3 mm. thick in thin layers over the laminated artwork. The resin flows to the edge of the image where it hardens and where it forms the rounded edge that is typical of this special Epoxy Clear Coating technique.The Epoxy Clear Coating envelops and seals the artwork, creating an ultra-transparent, brilliant finish for a crystal-clear view of the artwork. Due to this applied technique, the colors are also more intense, sharper and deeper, creating an exclusive warm appearance. The artwork is always delivered without a frame, which is also not necessary. A rail is mounted on the back to hang the artwork on the wall. Each Miko-Digipainting is unique, valuable and recognizable because: signature/year is sealed under the coating, the artwork is always set up from the center, is very colorful and exclusively available as 1/1 artwork. In addition, it is again hand-signed on the back and the year stated. A valuable investment for the collector of Digital New Media. The authenticity and uniqueness of each Miko-Digipainting is guaranteed and confirmed by the attached signed Certificate of Authenticity and the additional signature on the back of the artwork. The work of art and the certificate of authenticity are inextricably linked. The certificate is also provided with a Secure QR Code Seals and a VOID burglar-resistant hologram. The invoice that is included is a document that serves as legal proof of purchase. Delivery within 10 to 20 working days. The artwork will be packaged in protective bubble wrap and shipped safely insured, registered in a sturdy, well-protected cardboard box. Can also possibly be framed with a black barge frame, costs on request. See the no. 5. ArtMajeur Certification of the Artistic Value of Miechel Kockelkoren (MikoArt) Certification determined in collaboration with Akoun, the global leader in art market information since 1985, signed J.A. Akoun, Akoun.com. See also the attached certificate to the artwork. Photos are part of the description, see pictures to judge by yourself its overall condition. Be safely packaged and sent worldwide. If you have any questions or if you want to make an offer, leave a message and I will respond as soon as possible. Unfortunately, a sold painting cannot be returned or exchanged by the buyer. This is due to the fact that the painting is produced on commission. Sincerely, Miko
