1884 - 1976
Räucherflundern und Sommerblume. 1939/40.
Watercolor.
Signed in the lower right. On P.M. Fabriano wove paper (with the watermark). cm (49,5 x 69 in), the full sheet. [EH].
Referring to the still lifes of the late 1930s and 1940s, Christiane Remm wrote: “It is precisely from the uncompromising simplicity of the depiction that these works derive their inner monumentality and dignity.” (quoted from: Christiane Remm, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Aquarelle, Berlin 2011, p. 62)
• In his later creative period, Schmidt-Rottluff focused increasingly on his immediate surroundings; still lifes became his central motifs.
• Time and again, he captured the formal beauty of objects and revealed his personal dialog with his subjects.
• Watercolor plays a central role in Schmidt-Rottluff’s work: from the “Brücke” years through to his final creative period in the 1970s, watercolor dominates his oeuvre.
PROVENANCE: The artist’s studio.
Collection of Dr. Victor and Hedda Peters, Leipzig (acquired directly from the artist).
Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia (acquired from the aforementioned in 1989).
