Description

A superb and very rare limited edition vintage framed and signed lithograph print by Peter Schmidt – Flowing in the Right Direction.

This is numbered number 11 / 35, it dates from 1971. It has a little wear and a small mark on the outer edge of the artwork. There is a tiny chip to the upper right corner of the glass front, seen in the images.

Peter Schmidt (1931–1980) was a painter, artist, teacher and composition and colour theorist. His work has been collected by the Tate, who have two of his prints, both called Flowing in the Right Direction. Five works are in the UK Government Art Collection.

With his student and later friend Brian Eno, Schmidt developed a process of using phrases and axioms to overcome artistic obstacles. They evolved into the Oblique Strategies – a set of cards with printed aphorisms on them. They were intended to help steer the minds of Schmidt and Eno, which tended to wander when under pressure, back to productive ways of thinking. Schmidt’s work was used in Eno’s LP covers such as Before and After Science and Tiger Mountain and Evening Star. (Source: Vauxhall History)
