    • ARNOLD NECHANSKY (Vienna 1888 - 1938 Kitzbühel)
      Nov. 28, 2024

      ARNOLD NECHANSKY (Vienna 1888 - 1938 Kitzbühel)

      Est: €400 - €800

      ARNOLD NECHANSKY (Vienna 1888 - 1938 Kitzbühel) Lady with a pearl necklace tempera/cardboard 5,3 x 5,7 cm SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE °€ 400 - 800 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE °€ 400 The craftsman Arnold Nechansky was a significant representative of Art Nouveau. From 1909 to 1913, he studied at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts under Oskar Strnad, Adolf Böhm, and Josef Hoffmann. As early as 1914, he designed the Austrian pavilion for the Cologne Werkbund Exhibition. From 1917, he began designing ceramics for the Wiener Werkstätte, founded by Hoffmann. In 1919, Nechansky was appointed to the Arts and Crafts and Trade School in Charlottenburg, where he led the classes for metalwork and leatherworking, as well as the preparatory class for general form design. In his new home city of Berlin, he married the Viennese painter Marianne von Winter in 1923. In 1934, Nechansky returned to his hometown of Vienna, where he worked until his untimely death as a designer of silver, furniture, textiles, and porcelain for the Lobmeyr company and the Wiener Werkstätte. His skill in decoration and design is also evident in the two small-scale works depicted here. The viewer is drawn close to the two women, whose heads rest atop the artfully draped fabric of their garments. The delicate hands are striking, one presenting a red beaded necklace, while the other turns as if in a dance movement. This recalls the dancers and female portraits of the Secessionist artists, who were heavily influenced by Grete Wiesenthal and modern expressive dance. The inclined head, pale skin, and blasé expression further enhance this impression. These almost square portraits do not depict specific women but rather "portray" a particular type of woman. They primarily represent sensitive and refined figures, similar to those found in the works of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. However, in Nechansky's work, the psychological aspect is less pronounced, while the decorative nature is emphasized. These two small treasures show clear parallels to the designs for the Wiener Werkstätte by the artist's hand. The type of woman, the inclined head, the mannered position of the hands, and the style of clothing also appear in his postcards, textiles, ceramics, jewelry, and objects. The works presented here also resemble fragments and could have been created in connection with ceramics or jewelry. The color and surface of the paintings are remarkable, reminiscent of the delicate appearance of ceramic artworks, emphasizing the fragile and playful overall impression. PLEASE NOTE: The purchase price consists of the highest bid plus the buyer's premium, sales tax and, if applicable, the fee of artists resale rights. In the case of normal taxation (marked ° at the estimate), a premium of 24% is added to the highest bid. The mandatory sales tax is added to the sum of the highest bid and the buyer's premium. This amounts to 13% for paintings, drawings, graphic works and sculptures and 20% for photographs and all other items. The buyer's premium amounts to 28% in case of differential taxation. The sales tax is included in the differential taxation.
