DREWES, Werner
Werner Drewes (1899–1985) was a German-American painter, printmaker, and key figure in American modernism. Trained in Europe and influenced by the Bauhaus, Drewes brought a rigorous sense of structure, abstraction, and dynamic composition to his etchings and lithographs. His prints often explore urban landscapes, architectural forms, and geometric abstractions, balancing precise line work with expressive rhythm and tonal depth. Collectors value Drewes’s work for its modernist elegance, technical mastery, and the way it transforms everyday subjects into enduring visual statements.
