Karl Schmidt-Rottluff
Zwei Ruderboote am Steg, 1934.
Watercolor and ink brush
Post auction sale: € 40,000 / $ 42,000
Zwei Ruderboote am Steg. 1934.
Watercolor and ink brush.
Signed in lower left. On firm off-white wove paper. 50 x 70 cm (19.6 x 27.5 in), the full sheet. [CH].
• In the remote village of Rumbke on Lake Leba on the Pomeranian Baltic Sea, Schmidt-Rottluff found peace and inspiration in the summers of the 1930s, far away from the catastrophic political events and unrest.
• In its finely modulated, atmospheric colors and lively freshness, our large-format watercolor contradicts Schmidt-Rottluff's difficult professional and social position as an artist ostracized by National Socialist art policy.
• As early as 1933, his works were defamed as "degenerate", removed from German museums and ridiculed in the "Degenerate Art" exhibition in Munich in 1937, a year before the watercolor was created.
• It was precisely in these years that Schmidt-Rottluff found new creative strength in the watercolor technique he had mastered since his beginnings.
• In 1989, this watercolor was part of the important retrospective at the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus in Munich and at the Kunsthalle Bremen.
• In the same year, he created the closely related painting "Sommerabend am See" (Summer Evening by the Lake, today in the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz).
The watercolor is documented in the archiv of the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation, Berlin.
