Wilhelm Busch is probably best known to most people as a draftsman who explores the small weaknesses, peculiarities and maliciousness of human nature with a sharp pen. Throughout his life, Busch struggled with his own self-image as a painter. In addition to numerous landscapes, he also created smaller genre scenes that reveal his admiration for the Dutch school. It is the rural environment that Busch makes the subject of his mostly small oil paintings. In his genre scenes, he was guided by the Dutch models of the 17th century, above all Adriaen van Ostade and Adriaen Brouwer. Genre scenes of this kind allow an account of the simple things as a profound aspect of life. The tonality of his painting and the spontaneous brushstroke lend his art a density that one wouldn't normally expect from such a small format. The dark tonality in particular demonstrates that Busch did not employ pleasing aesthetics, but that he rather aimed at the humane in the viewer. [KT]
