Rudolf Jahn's "Schreitende" is a wonderful work that oscillates between figuration and geometric abstraction. The reduced, yet clearly recognizable figure is placed in the middle of a squared space without any spatial depth. His artistic endeavor to eliminate the contrast between abstraction and figuration becomes manifest here both in terms of style and palette. Among the artists of abstract art, Rudolf Jahn's style earned him a recognition as a poet or musician. In the year "Schreitende" was made, he co-founded the progressive artist group "die abstrakten hannover" together with, among others, Kurt Schwitters and Carl Buchheister. The outbreak of World War I had stopped him from studying art, however, despite all the obstacles, the trained finance specialist devoted himself to his work. In the early 1930s, the group "die abstrakten hannover" disbanded under the pressure from the National Socialists. Rudolf Jahns was ostracized as degenerate and was banned from exhibiting . Works from the key group from the interwar period are among his most sought-after works on the auction market today. [AR]
