Alfred Leithäuser Still life with pink cup. 1950s
Est: €1,000 - €1,500
Alfred Leithäuser 1898 Barmen - 1979 Gauting Still life with pink cup. 1950s Signed lower right. Oil auf plywood. 28 x 34 cm. Framed (33 x 38 cm). Wie die meisten Künstler machte Alfred Leithäuser eine stilistische Entwicklung durch - von einer anfänglichen, impressionistischen über eine expressionistische Phase, über einen Realismus à la Cézanne und Derain hin zur Neuen Sachlichkeit ab den 1920er Jahren. Eine chronologische Betrachtung seiner Werke erweist sich als schwierig, da er seine Bilder seit Ende der 1920er Jahre nicht mehr datierte. Im Jahr 1937 erfolgte die Diffamierung von zwei seiner Werke als "entartete Kunst" durch die Nationalsozialisten, eines davon wurde sogar zerstört. Nachweise auf ein Arbeits- und Ausstellungsverbot für den Künstler wurde jedoch nicht ausgesprochen, wodurch er weiterhin Ausstellungen haben konnte. Dennoch war eine Anpassung an die veränderte Kunstszene des Dritten Reiches schwierig für Leithäuser. Das zeigt sich u.a. daran, dass er nach 1933 in der Kunstszene an Bedeutung verlor. In diesem Jahr wurde aber noch eines seiner Gemälde, "Diebe im Wald", in München ausgestellt. Retrospektiv wirkt es wie eine voraussehende Warnung der Bevorstehenden nationalsozialistischen Zensur, in der Künstler und Intellektuelle ihre Vorstellungen begraben müssen, wie Diebe ihr Diebesgut. Während der Diktatur zog sich Leithäuser auf das bayerische Land zurück. In dieser Zeit der inneren Emigration wandelte sich sein Stil erneut zu einer expressiven Darstellung. Sein Sujet waren Landschaften und das Alltägliche des Inntals. Seine dargestellten Objekte wurden einfacher und klarer in ihren Formen. Nach Kriegsende widmete sich der Künstler aktiv dem Wiederaufbau der Münchener Kunstszene, war auf und mit Ausstellungen in Deutschland vertreten und erhielt Einladungen aus dem Ausland zu Ausstellungen deutscher Kunst. Dennoch schaffte er seinen großen Durchbruch nicht mehr. provenance: collection of Ursula and Walter Grotenbeck Ausstellung: Von der Heydt Museum, 1999, catalogue number 22

The colors are very subdued, shades of brown and turbid white dominate the composition. The composition, style and shapes are clear and simple. The influence of New Objectivity, which emerge in the 1930s in Leithäusers work is to see in this small format painting, too. The painting is signed upper right 'A. Leithäuser'. On verso it is signed and inscribed in pencil 'Alfred Leithäuser, München' and presumably titled nearly illegibly fainted 'Kleines Stilleben mit Kartoffeln'. Additionally it is stamped twice 'Sammlung Hof München', and twice assigned with the handwritten number '394'. It shows shrinkage cracks due to painting technique and slight framing traces along the edges. The condition is good. The condition of the frame is also good with slight signs of wear. The panel measures 29 x 34.2 cm, the framed dimensions are 41 x 46 cm. Alfred Leithäuser (1898-1979) Alfred Leithäuser turned to painting after training as an engineer and studied under Gustav Wiethüchter at the art school in his native town of Barmen. In 1923 he went to Munich, where he continued his artistic education at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts. Later, a two-year study under André Lhote in Paris, as well as extended stays in Italy, Spain and Mallorca followed. Back in Munich Leithäuser became Member of the New Secession in 1930. During National Socialism, his work was considered degenerate. So his first solo exhibition took place in 1946 at Gut Hinterhör in the market congregation Neubeuern. Around 1960, Leithäuser joined the Munich based artist group Neuer Realismus, founded amongst others by Emil Scheibe and Albert Heinzinger. In 1978 he received the Eduard-von-der-Heydt Culture Prize of the city of Wuppertal. Leithäusers work, still life, figure paintings and landscapes were initially influenced by Cézanne and Lhote, whos cubist design vocabulary he took up moderately. During the 1930s, Leithäuser turned to the New Objectivity. (fea) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
