Eisenbahnbrücke (Brücke in Dresden). Um 1911/12.
Oil on canvas, laid on cardboard.
Signed in lower right (scratched into the wet paint). 46.1 x 65.3 cm (18.1 x 25.7 in).
Between October 2022 and October 2023, the work was on loan at the Museum Moritzburg in Halle (Saale).
Until February 25, 2024 the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg host the grand exhibition "Dix und die Gegenwart". [CH].
• Hitherto unknown painting by the important representative of New Objectivity from his early creative phase (1910–1914).
• With a close-up detail, expressive style, strong light-dark contrasts and skilful play of light and shadow, Dix elevates the architecture of a bridge at Dresden Central Station, which went into operation in April 1898, to the protagonist of his composition.
• Comparable works from these years show, for example, the Lennéstrasse in Dresden, the view of Dresden-Neustadt or the factory district in Gera.
• In 1912, the powerful late Impressionism of his landscapes and city motifs in Dresden and Gera was replaced by a more pluralistic style.
The work will be included into the catalogue raisonné of paintings under the number "L 1912/29". We are grateful to Dr. Ulrike Lorenz and Mr Rainer Pfefferkorn, Otto-Dix-Foundation, for their kind expert advice.
PROVENANCE: Collection of Ludwig Oskar Herbert Rüger (1892 until presumably 1966), Dresden.
Ever since family-owned.
