§ Walter Horst Nessler (1912-2001) John Denham, Mill Lane signed and dated 'Nessler / 84' (lower right) mixed media 35.5 x 50.5cm Remembered as much for his dreamlike imagery as for his courage and fortitude, German-born artist, Waler Nessler's, work often dealt with themes of social and political injustice. In the 1950s and 1960s, he created a series of powerful anti-war paintings that were inspired by his experiences as a refugee and by the devastating effects of World War II. He also created works that explored issues of poverty, racism and the struggles of the working class. Forced to flee Germany in the 1930s, due to his opposition to the Nazi regime, Nessler lived briefly in Paris before moving to London and joining the army shortly thereafter. During his military service, Nessler continued to produce art, sketching his surroundings and fellow personnel. Following the war, Nessler returned to London to study sculpture at St. Martin’s School of Art, before travelling to Paris, where he mixed with artists including Cocteau, Picasso and Matisse. The bright colours and strong use of line associated with both the School of Paris and Cubism proved to have a huge influence on Nessler’s matured style. In addition to his artwork, Nessler was also a dedicated teacher. He taught at a number of art schools in London, including the Central School of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art. Nessler's work has been exhibited in many major galleries and museums around the world, including the Tate Gallery in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His legacy continues to inspire artists today, particularly those who seek to use their art to engage with political and social issues.

Hartweg 15 - Nessler studierte an der Kunstgewerbeschule in Dresden sowie an der privaten Malschule "Castello" bei Woldemar Winkler.

Walter Nessler, German/British 1912-2001- 'Mill Lane- John Denham’s Gallery', 1984; pencil, crayon and gouache on paper, signed and dated '84' lower right, 36 x 51cm, (ARR) Note: This work depicts the John Denham Gallery, whom had commissioned it, to be used as the design for the gallery's postcard. The artist's son, Conrad, has kindly confirmed the authenticity of this piece. Walter Nessler was born in Leipzig in 1912. He studied at the Technical Art College and the Castelli Italian Art School 1933-35. Nessler opposed Hitler's National Socialism, and moved to Britain in the 1930s to avoid Nazi repression. Nessler left a large quantity of work in Dresden, which was destroyed during Allied bombing. The following lots 46 to 53 are pieces created during the artist’s time in London and where acquired by the present owner from the artist's gallery, John Denham, London. John Denham, discussed the landscapes from this period, as places known to us, however we are seeing them through the artist’s interpretation “…the features of the landscape may be re-worked and quite stable elements shifted about to new site.” (‘London, A Personal View- Paintings, Collages, Watercolours, Drawings 1940s-1980s by Walter Nessler,’ John Denham Gallery, 1988) Please refer to department for condition report

§ Walter Horst Nessler (German/British, 1912-2001) Jersey signed 'Nessler' (lower left) oil on canvas h:39.50 w:50 cm Provenance: The Hertfordshire County Council 'Pictures For Schools' collection' Their sale, Cheffins, March 21 2019, lot 6, where acquired by the present owner Other Notes: Born in Leipzig, Germany, Nessler began his artistic career at the Castelli Italian School of Art, Dresden. Despite not being Jewish, he strongly opposed National Socialism, and eventually moved to London in 1937, joining the British army shortly thereafter. After the war, he studied sculpture at St Martin's School of Art and travelled to Paris, meeting the likes of Cocteau, Sartre, Picasso, Giacometti and Matisse. French modernism, particularly Cubism, exerted a strong influence on his subsequent work. The bright colours and geometric planes used to depict the landscape surrounding Jersey, the subject of numerous works in the early 1950s, reveals the artist's optimistic post-war outlook. Nessler first exhibited his work at the Molon Gallery in 1961. He also took part in several group exhibitions at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and commercial galleries in London, the provinces, and abroad. A retrospective of his work was held in 1990, which coincided with his increasing recognition in Germany. Nessler's works are now held in numerous public collections internationally.

Reclining Nude Mischtechnik auf braunem Packpapier. 1950. 73,3 x 114 cm. Unten links mit Ölkreide in Blau signiert und datiert, verso mit Bleistift bezeichnet "Reclining" und nochmals datiert. Walter Nessler emigriert 1937 nach England, nicht aus rassischen Gründen, sondern aus der Überzeugung, dass er unter der NS-Herrschaft seine Kunst nicht mehr würde ausführen können. In London ist Walter Nessler bekannt, das zeigen zahlreiche Ausstellungen bis zur Gegenwart, wohingegen er im Nachkriegsdeutschland nur gelegentlich und meistens im thematischen Zusammenhang ausgestellt wurde. Seit 1997 mühen sich verstärkt deutsche Privatgalerien um das Werk Walter Nesslers.
