Willi Baumeister
1889 - 1955
Landschaft mit rotem Bogen (Sommerfest). 1948.
Oil and synthetic resin on hardboard.
Signed and dated in the lower left. 59.7 x 80.7 cm (23.5 x 31.7 in).
In the artist’s sketchbook, accompanied by a quick sketch from memory and the title “Landschaft mit rotem Bogen” [Landscape with a Red Arch]. [MH].
• From the peak period of Baumeister’s significant series of “Metaphysical Landscapes” (1944–1954), which is considered the highlight of his artistic output in the postwar years.
• Through the use of synthetic resin, Baumeister achieves an impressive tactile surface effect that underscores the prehistoric character of his archaic-seeming repertoire of forms.
• Part of a major German private collection for nearly 30 years.
PROVENANCE: Paul Fries, Stuttgart/New York (1948, directly from the artist).
Galerie Sander, Darmstadt (1997, Sotheby’s, London).
Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia (1997, acquired from the above, in the family’s possession ever since).
LITERATURE: Peter Beye, Felicitas Baumeister, Willi Baumeister. Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings, vol. II, Ostfildern 2002, CR no. 1414 (with ill.).
