Emil Ganso
American,
(1895–1941)
Emil Ganso was a German-born painter and printmaker. Ganso's subjects included studio scenes, mostly still lifes and figural studies, as well as landscapes and views of rural settings. His style varied from one of dramatic force, achieved with strong contrasts and distorted forms, to a somber realism. Better known as a printmaker than painter, he worked in many graphic media, including wood engraving, lithography, aquatint, and etching.
