Wohlwill, Gretchen: Zwei Schreiner bei der Arbeit
Est: €2,000 - €2,500
Zwei Schreiner bei der ArbeitÖl auf Leinwand. Wohl um 1950.74,5 x 89,5 cm. Unten rechts mit Pinsel in Grau signiert "G. Wohlwill", verso mit Pinsel in Schwarz bezeichnet "Neneres J. Umdrehen" sowie bezeichnet "No.2" und "6000#". Gretchen Wohlwill gilt heute als eine der bedeutendsten Schülerinnen von Henri Matisse, doch geriet ihr Werk nach ihrem Tode etwas in Vergessenheit. Ihre erste künstlerische Ausbildung erhielt sie in Hamburg unter Eitner und Illies, 1904-1905 an der eher konservativ ausgerichteten Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris unter Lucien Simon und Jacques-Émile Blanche. Sie kehrte 1909 für ein Jahr nach Paris zurück, um an der sogenannten Académie Matisse zu studieren, wo sie auch mit Friedrich Ahlers-Hestermann, Hans Purrmann und Franz Nölken zusammentraf. Die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit der französischen Avantgarde wirkte sich prägend auf ihr gesamtes künstlerisches Schaffen aus. Seit den 1920er Jahren konnte sie als Mitbegründerin der Hamburger Secession große künstlerische Erfolge feiern, jedoch wurde sie wegen ihrer jüdischen Abstammung von den Nationalsozialisten 1933 verfemt, aus dem Staatsdienst entlassen und malte zurückgezogen in ihrem Atelier in Finkenwerder. 1940 emigrierte sie schließlich für zwölf Jahre nach Portugal. Seit 1930 schuf Wohlwill bevorzugt expressionistisch geprägte Gemälde mit einer Betonung der Flächigkeit. Motivisch finden sich häufig Darstellungen von Arbeitern in der Umgebung des Hamburger Hafens. - 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.
