Während eines Aufenthalts in Nidden 1909 lernte sie Max Pechstein kennen. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Ehemann bezog sie wenig später eine Villa in Tzschetschnow bei Frankfurt/Oder. Bereits während des Ersten Weltkrieges signierte sie mit „Erich Thum“. Zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus galt ihr Werk als entartet und ab 1937 erhielt sie Ausstellungsverbot. Künstlerisch ist sie dem Expressionismus zuzuordnen, besonders in ihren leuchtenden Farben und schwingenden Formen interpretiert sie ihre Welt auf eine ganz eigene und einfühlsame Weise. -- -- Ausstellung: Galerie Lippeck Berlin 1991 -- Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. -- Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

Erich Thum, Painting, 'Tote Wasser an der Donau', 1924
Est: €1,700 - €2,210
Oil on canvas Germany, 1924 Erich Thum; pseudonym for Elfriede Thum-Lauckner (1886-1952) – German painter and graphic artist Signed lower left ‘Thum’ Titled on the stretcher ‘Tote Wasser an der Donau’ as well as ‘Tote Wasser Wien’ In white gilded profiled frame Image dimensions: 60 x 75 cm Very good condition Provenance: Private collection, Germany Atmospheric landscape painting by the artist; her paintings fetch up to €13,200 at international auctions This painting shows a reach of a river, according to the title presumably a dead arm of the Danube, and a range of hills, that runs in the middle ground almost completely through the image area. A slightly clouded sky overstretches the scene. Particularly appealing is the sublime coloring that perfectly captures the mysterious light mood of a setting summer sun. The painting is signed lower left ‘Thum’. It is titled on the stretcher ‘Tote Wasser an der Donau’ as well as ‘Tote Wasser Wien’. The painting shows overall slight craquelure and tiny framing-related paint losses along the edges. The frame is in good condition with slight signs of wear. The painting measures 60 x 75 cm. The framed dimensions are 73 x 88 cm. Erich (Elfriede) Thum (1886-1952) The Berlin-born artist Elfriede Thum studied at the University of Lausanne in 1905/06, where she met her future husband, the writer Rolf Lauckner. She trained with the painter Charles Johann Palmié, based in Dresden. Thum’s first exhibition took place in 1912 in the Berlin gallery Cassirer. Therefore, she adopted the pseudonym of Erich Thum, under which she painted from then on. Her works, considered degenerate during the Nazi regime, were influenced by the pointillist painter Giovanni Segantini, who was considered a master of the plain air painting. Today, works by Thum are part of major museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. (fea) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.

Est: €2,464 - €3,080
Oil on canvas Germany, 1st half of the 20th century Erich Thum; pseudonym for Elfriede Thum-Lauckner (1886-1952) - Berlin painter and graphic artist Signed ‘Thum’ upper right Dimensions: 80 x 90 cm Good condition Provenance: Private collection, Rhineland-Palatinate Scenic representation of a strip mine, whose austere beauty is captured in expressive colors; the auction record for an oil painting by Erich Thum is set at over €13,000 At first glance, one might think, the German artist Elfriede Thum-Lauckner, who used the pseudonym of Erich Thum, depicted an idyllic mountain landscape in this expressive oil painting. Upon closer inspection, however, one realizes that it is the depiction of a strip mine. The artist was fascinated by the contrast of industry and nature. Thus she created several motifs which portray the modern industrial age, in addition to picturesque river landscapes influenced by Pointillism. Skillfully Thum managed to capture the roughness and bleakness of the subject matter in a powerful color scheme that captivates the viewer. The painting is signed ‘Thum’ upper right. It is in good condition. On the reverse backed with several patches of canvas. Some scattered retouchings to the sky. The frame shows some wear. The framed work measures 93 x 103 cm, the stretcher frame measures 80 x 90 cm.
