August am Bodensee. 1953.
Watercolor over pencil.
Lower right monogrammed and dated, lower margin and verso inscribed "August". On watercolor paper. 22.8 x 28.8 cm (8.9 x 11.3 in), size of sheet. [JS].
• Atmospheric, small Lake Constance landscape, which in compressed form carries the colors and the heat of summer.
• From a series of small-format watercolors in which Dix masterfully captured the seasons on Lake Constance with their different moods of color and light since the early 1950s.
PROVENANCE: Private collection Southern Germany (presumably directly from the artist).
Private collection Hesse (acquired from the above in 2009).
LITERATURE: Suse Pfäffle, Otto Dix. Werkverzeichnis der Aquarelle und Gouachen, Stuttgart 1991, no. A 1953/28 (illustrated in black and white).
Good overall impression. Browned and the image bordered in light chalk. Margins with minor losses and traces of rubbing. A vertical crease in the upper left margin.
