TADEUSZ RYCHTER (POLISH, 1873-1943) - CAMEL, PENCIL ON PAPER, 1935.
Est: $300 - $600
Tadeusz Rychter (Polish, 1873-1943) - Camel, Pencil on Paper, 1935. Signed and dated. Titled on the bottom margin. 26x34cm. Also spelled: Tadeus Richter. Tadeusz Rychter was a Polish early 20th century artist best remembered for his watercolors of the Holy Land. Rychter studied at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, where he became the contributing artist to the legendary Zielony Balonik art-and-literary cabaret. He married a fellow Cracovian artist Bronislawa Janowska, but left her for a German artist from an aristocratic family, Anna May-Rychter, whom he met while in Munich. He was Catholic and could not obtain a divorce; they could not be legally wed, which may also explain their decision to settle in Palestine in 1920-1923. While still in Europe, the two worked with Rudolf Steiner on the construction of the first Goetheanum in Switzerland and were members of the artist's group - Aenigma. In Palestine, Rychter earned a living restoring art in old churches, and selling watercolor paintings of Christian holy sites to tourists. Many of his surviving paintings are in the possession of British families whose ancestors purchased them while stationed with the British administration in Mandate Palestine. In 1935 Tadeusz Rychter applied for membership in the Palestine Artists Association but was turned down because of his religion. He returned to Poland at the time of the German invasion in 1939, and disappeared in Warsaw in 1941. He died in 1943, murdered by the Nazis.

Tadeusz Rychter (1873-1943) – Portrait of a Man – Watercolor on Paper
Est: -
Tadeusz Rychter (1873-1943), Portrait of a Man. Tel-Aviv, 1928. Watercolor on paper. Signed and dated. 34.5X24.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Foxing. Sketch on verso. Tadeusz Rychter, born in Poland, studied at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. He married the Polish artist and socialite Bronisława Janowska, but the two separated after several years and Rychter moved to Munich, where he met his partner in life and art, Anna May-Rychter. In Munich, Rychter was introduced to the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, founder of anthroposophy, and was captivated by it. The Rycters soon became ardent anthroposophists and worked on decorating the first Goetheanum, the anthroposophical movement center in Dornach, Switzerland. Ca. 1924, the Rychters were commissioned to paint watercolors of the Holy sites in Palestine by a company that sold the paintings in Europe. They settled in Jerusalem, creating delicate watercolors depicting the views and people of Palestine and commissioned portraits. Rychter was also hired to take part in the restoration of a church in Bethlehem. The Rychters displayed their works in various exhibitions. A review of a joint exhibition of their works at the Bezalel National Art Museum ("Doar Hayom", May 6, 1927) noted: "…Rychter is unique in his ability, not only in Palestine, but in Europe as well. He is one of the few who perfected the watercolor portrait. He was able to convey the subtlety of the tone […] and mainly the emotional expression. Here, the transparency of watercolors helps the artist peer through the skin into the subject's soul. Of all the portraits on display, most noticeable was the portrait of Mrs. Rychter (the artist's wife), which is as expertly executed as works by the greatest English aquarellists…" (Hebrew). In 1935, Tadeusz Rychter applied for membership in the Palestine Artists' Association but was turned down, most probably because of his religion. In 1939, he was invited to Poland to create frescos for a new church, and with the outbreak of World War II was unable to return to Palestine. As far as is known, Ryhcter was arrested and murdered by the Nazis.

The terrors of the Holocaust followed him like a shadow, fueling his love of the State, the wounded, the disabled, the bereaved families [] in the name of the Israel Defense Forces and in the name of the State of Israel, I salute you, Simcha".
