(1906 Graz - 1986 Wien) Straßburger Münster In leuchtender Farbigkeit, expressivem Duktus und reizvoller Perspektive auf die imposante, von der Sonne angestrahlte Kathedrale im Bildzentrum, angelegte Vedute Paars, der zunächst eine Lithographenlehre absolvierte und anschließend 1925-1927 an der Stuttgarter Akademie bei Hans Spiegel studierte. Nach einem Aufenthalt in Berlin bildete er sich 1930/31 an der Académie Julian in Paris weiter. Die Begegnung mit der französischen Kunst prägte Paars Schaffen nachhaltig. Nach spätimpressionistischen Anfängen, die bereits unter dem Einfluss des Expressionismus standen, setzte er sich mit dem synthetischen Kubismus auseinander, um schließlich einen subjektiven Realismus zu entwickeln, in dem er auch lyrische und visionäre Komponenten verarbeitete. Paar war Mitglied des Hagenbundes, der Grazer und der Wiener Secession und schließlich Mitbegründer der Künstlergruppe "Der Kreis". Öl/Rupfen. L. u. sign. u. dat. (19)42. 101,5 cm x 72,5 cm. Rahmen.

After completing his apprenticeship, Paar moved to Germany, where he attended the Stuttgart Academy in 1926/27. In 1930, Paar went to Paris with his painter friend Hans Stockbauer and attended the Académie Julian there. In 1933 he moved to Vienna and worked as a graphic designer. At the same time, he made a name for himself as a member of the Graz Secession and the Hagenbund in Vienna with Cubist and New Objectivity images. After the uprising of the Social Democratic Protection Association in 1934, he moved in the resistance circle around the Styrian architect Franz Schacherl in Vienna. He was a member of the hanging commission in the Hagenbund and tried in vain to organize an exhibition of the Graz Secession in the Hagenbund. During the Nazi dictatorship he was drafted into service as a commercial artist. Nevertheless, he continued to work as a freelance artist and offered cultural resistance by continuing his modern style of painting. He was only able to exhibit once during the war, but this show was closed early due to stylistic deviations towards degenerate art. In 1943 he had to join the Wehrmacht. After the war, he worked as an assistant at the Academy of Applied Arts, but was fired in 1948 because he had published a caricature critical of the government. In 1950 he exhibited in a personal exhibition in the Neue Galerie Graz. In 1951 he was vice president of the artists' group “Der Kreis”, a very important artists' association in Vienna alongside the Art Club. In 1963 he received the Theodor Körner Prize and in 1965 the City of Vienna Prize for Applied Arts.

signed and dated lower right,framed. The still life with mask, jug and fruit bowl is in a tradition of similar works by Max Beckmann or Alfred Wickenburg, in which the abandoned objects gain their own meaning and develop a life of their very own. The impression is reinforced by the empty chair - the transience results from the strong reflections of mask and melon in the brown jug. The work was created in 1943, shortly after a group exhibition of Paar's work at the Galerie Welz had to be closed down as degenerate and shortly before he had to enlist for the Eastern Front. Clearly and also visibly an emotionally upsetting time, this manifests itself in every stroke of this work.
signed and dated upper right,framed. Ernst Paar´s works can be found in the Albertina, the Belvedere, as well as in numerous private collections. His loose brushwork and virtuosic use of color come together in this painting to form this pensive portrait of a man, oblivious to the morning rays of sun illuminating his profile. Paar`s skill as an illustrator can be observed in his particular attention to the contrast of dark and light.

Due to the possibility of free artistic elaboration in the post-war period, a synthetic development in the following years, which internalizes the influences of different tendencies, can be determined.

Oil on canvas Austria, 1936 Ernst Paar (1906-1986) - Austrian painter and graphic artist Signed lower left and dated 'Paar 36' Verso label with a Vienna Künstlerhaus exhibition number from 1938 Dimensions: 51 x 63.5 cm Provenance: Austrian private collection Good condition A sober landscape with an abstract approach by the Austrian artist Ernst Paar; his paintings fetch up to 15,000 euros at international auctions The Austrian painter and graphic artist Ernst Paar (1906-1986) created this oil painting of a landscape with a red house in his Viennese period in 1936. The lush green landscape is characterized by vivid and powerful brushstrokes, reflecting the prosperous nature in an expressive, slightly abstract manner. Due to the positioning of the trees and the red house in the background, the composition gains a certain spatial depth. The simplification and harmony of forms in Paar's paintings were certainly inspired by Alfred Wickenburg (1885-1978), a leading representative of the Styrian Modern movement since the early 1930s, who lived in Graz from 1923 and founded the Graz Secession together with other artists. The painting is signed lower left and dated 'Paar 36'. On the back is a label with a Vienna Künstlerhaus exhibition number from 1938. It is in good condition, showing slight signs of age. The colour surface features minimal traces of the framing. There is a small restored area in the lower section (repaired on the back). The dimensions of the painting are 51 x 63.5 cm. Ernst Paar (1906-1986) A native of Graz, the painter and graphic artist Ernst Paar worked as a lithographer in his early years, before he studied at the Stuttgart Academy from 1925 to 1927. In 1928, he stayed in Berlin, and from 1930 to 1931, he studied at the Academy Julian in Paris. From 1933 onwards, he lived in Vienna. In Paris, Paar created late Impressionist city views. In the further 1930s, he turned towards Cubist landscapes and still lifes, inspired by Georges Braque and the Graz group of artists around Alfred Wickenburg. After the end of World War II, his works were characterized by a combination of late cubist and abstract elements of style, to which he often added a humorous, sometimes surrealistic touch. From 1932, Paar was a member of the Graz Secession and of the Hagenbund from 1934 to 1938. Works by Paar are owned by the Austrian Gallery and the Historical Museum in Vienna, the Neue Galerie in Linz and the Neue Galerie Joanneum in Graz.
