Orlowski (1894-1967), German painter and woodcut artist. Orlowski attended the Kunstgewerbeschule in Berlin-Charlottenburg from 1911 to 1915. After the First World War he returned to Berlin and continued his studies at the Staatlichen Kunstschule under Philipp Franck. In 1920 he exhibited in the "Freien Sezession Berlin" and, by invitation, with the Belgian group "Lumière" in Antwerp. In the following years he also exhibited with this group, which included Jan and Jozef Cantré, André Lhote, Conrad Felixmüller, Frans Masereel, Joris Minne, Max Pechstein and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. From 1921 to 1945 he worked as a teacher at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Charlottenburg. During this period he created numerous woodcuts and series of illustrations. In 1924 the artist turned away from Expressionism and destroyed almost all of his early work. The book offered was issued in an edition of 50 numbered copies, and in further 10 copies intended as gifts for friends of the publisher ("Frühlingsgabe für die Freunde des Wendelkreis Verlages."). This is one of the 10 copies. …
