Rupprecht Geiger 1908 München - 2009 München522/68. 1968.Acryl auf Leinwand. Geiger 497. Verso auf dem Keilrahmen signiert. 180 x 130 cm (70,8 x 51,1 in). PROVENIENZ: Sammlung Thomas und Maria Lenk, Schloß Tierberg. Rupprecht Geiger wird 1908 als einziges Kind des Malers und Grafikers Willi Geiger in München geboren. Seine Kindheit und Jugend verbringt Geiger in München und den Voralpen Oberbayerns. 1924 geht die Familie für ein Jahr nach Spanien, zwei Jahre später tritt er in die Architekturklasse von Eduard Pfeiffer an der Kunstgewerbeschule in München ein. 1935 absolviert Geiger das Schlussexamen als Architekt und verbringt ein halbes Jahr mit seinem Vater in Rom. Fortan arbeitet Geiger in einem Münchner Architekturbüro, bis er 1940 an die Front in Russland eingezogen wird. In dieser Zeit entstehen dunkeltonige Landschaftsaquarelle. 1942 kommt Geiger für kurze Zeit wieder nach Deutschland und beginnt durch Vermittlung seines Vaters als Kriegsmaler in der Ukraine zu arbeiten. Nach Kriegsende kehrt Geiger nach München zurück. 1948 wird sein erstes abstraktes Bild im `Salon des Réalistes Nouvelles` in Paris ausgestellt. Ein Jahr später gründet Geiger zusammen mit Baumeister, Matschinsky-Denninghoff und Winter die Gruppe `ZEN 49`. In den fünfziger Jahren findet Geiger, einer der bedeutensten Vertreter der deutschen Farbfeldmalerei, den für ihn kennzeichnenden Stil.Sind Rupprecht Geigers Kompositionen der 1950er und frühen 1960er Jahre noch aus differenzierten Blau- und Rottönen aufgebaut und von Kreis- und Rechteckformen gleichermaßen beherrscht, so erreicht die Reduktion und Konzentration von Farbe und Form in den späten 1960er Jahren ihren Höhepunkt. Der Kreis als Sinnbild der Konzentration steht fortan im Zentrum von Geigers Schaffen, welcher durch den verstärkten Einsatz von Leuchtfarben, die keinerlei Bezug zur Natur und damit zur Welt des Gegenständlichen mehr aufweisen, zu einem meditativen Farbraum gesteigert wird. Allein aus der in Neongelb umfangenen Kreisform und dem sanften, horizontalen Farbverlauf im unteren Teil der Komposition gewinnt die uns vorliegende Arbeit, die zu den besonders schönen Beispielen dieser zentralen Schaffensphase im ?uvre Geigers zu rechnen ist, ihre so eigene Spannung. In den Jahren 1959 bis 1977 nimmt Geiger mehrmals an der Documenta in Kassel teil. 1962 gibt er seine Tätigkeit als Architekt ganz auf, um sich ausschließlich der Malerei zu widmen. 1965 wird Geiger als Professor an die Düsseldorfer Akademie berufen; die Professur nimmt er bis 1976 wahr. Ab 1982 ist Geiger Mitglied der Akademie der Schönen Künste in München. 1987 erhält er vom Kulturzentrum Gasteig in München einen Großauftrag für die Skulptur `Gerundetes Blau`. 2009 verstirbt der Künstler in München. Mit seinen abstrakten Farbkompositionen ist Rupprecht Geiger einer der Hauptvertreter der Farbfeldmalerei in Deutschland.

PROVENANCE: Collection Thomas and Maria Lenk, Schloß Tierberg. Rupprecht Geiger was born in Munich in 1908 as the only child of the painter and graphic artist Willi Geiger.

One year after returning from Spain, in 1926, Geiger attended Eduard Pfeiffer`s architectural class at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Munich.
