Lyonel Feininger1871 New York - 1956 ebendaObergrunstedt I. 1920Links unten signiert und datiert 1920. Mittig bezeichnet mit "Ober-Grunstedt I". Farbiges Aquarell über Tusche auf bräunlichem Bütten. 24 x 35 cm. Blattgröße: 28,7 x 26,5 cm. Am unteren Blattrand Reißnagellöcher und fleckig gebräunt. Blatt insg. gebräunt. Rahmen mit Museumsglas, nicht ausgerahmt (48 x 49 cm).Besonders aber das Weimarer Land, diese für ihn neue "Alte Welt", faszinierte ihn, seit er hier 1906 zum ersten Mal seine spätere Frau Julia Berg besuchte. Dörfer wie Oberweimar, Vollersroda und Gelmeroda, die er mit dem Fahrrad erkundete, fesselten seine Phantasie, und vor allem die kleine gotische Dorfkirche von Gelmeroda, die er in unzähligen Naturnotizen und Gemälden festhielt, wurde zum Symbol einer romantisch verklärten Märchenwelt, die er in seine Comic-Strips, seine Gemälde und die frühen "Mummenschanzbilder" einfließen ließ, die von seltsam überlängten und historisch gekleideten Menschen bevölkert sind. Etwa seit Anfang der 1920er Jahre erschienen Städte und Dörfer im Lichte einer eingefrorenen Weltentrücktheit und Spiritualität. Sie bezeichnen Feiningers romantische Hinwendung zu einer Welt, die durch Massengesellschaft und Industrialisierung vor dem Untergang stand und nur noch in einer illusionären "Traumstadt" zu finden war. Als Feininger in die USA zurückkehrte, nahm er die imaginären thüringischen Dörfer in seinem Inneren mit, auch als er eine neue Linearität in seiner Malerei entwickelte und sich New Yorker Stadtansichten widmete. Die Ausstellung "Traumstadt - Lyonel Feininger und seine Dörfer" untersucht Feiningers intensive Auseinandersetzung mit Dörflichkeit und Urbanität im Kontext zunehmender Industrialisierung und Verstädterung zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts.Provenienz: Achim Moeller Fine Art Advisory, New York / Privatsammlung Deutschland

‡ A VERY FINE SOUTH GERMAN SPORTING CROSSBOW (HALBE RÜSTUNG), DATED 1587 with heavy steel bow retaining its original painted finish comprising a trellis design sown with flowerheads on the front, back, upper and lower edges, early cords, green silk pom-poms and string, iron stirrup, tiller swelling about the nut, inlaid and veneered over much of its surface with engraved staghorn plaques (very small restorations, light wear), the top applied with a large plaque over its entire surface, decorated on the right side with an elaborate contemporary woodland hunting scene ahead of a castle, the owner’s coat-of-arms and a herm and further mounted figures, on the left with figurative scenes after Joachim Meyer and a further scene including St Michael slaying the serpent, an amorous couple, scrolling foliage and ball flowers, the bottom engraved with the date around the cocking rod aperture, scrolls, a pair of marine monsters and a niche with the figure of Ceres, fitted with bone nut, a pair of iron lugs for a cranequin, horn bolt-clip, gilt copper alloy back-sight, a gilt copper alloy cartouche engraved ‘ehrlich zu leben und selig zu sterben’ (to live honestly, to die in blessedness), etched trigger-plate, leather-bound writhen iron trigger (small losses), and a gilt copper alloy plaque enclosing the top and butt of the tiller (a working life repair), the string with circular brass inventory tag ‘1438’ and the tiller with another ‘1365’ Provenance Frank Bivens The arms are for a member of the Princes Salm family. It is likely that the bow was refurbished in the 17th century, at which time the bow was painted, and the pom-poms, string, gilt copper mounts and bolt-clip were fitted. The inclusion of an apparent extract after Joachim Meyer's Art of Combat (Kunst des Fechtens) of 1570 is unusual, perhaps unique, in this context.
