Hedwig Marquardt (1884 Biere - 1969 Hannover)Doppelporträt zweier MännerDie Expressionistin Hedwig Marquardt studierte bei Lovis Corinth in Berlin, fand Anschluss an die Avantgarde und stellte 1911 und 1913 in der Juryfreien Kunstschau aus. 1922-1924 arbeitete sie in der Majolika-Manufaktur in Karlsruhe, wo sie die ebenfalls dort tätige Bildhauerin und Keramikerin Augusta "Gust" Kaiser (1895 - 1932) kennenlernte.

Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (1884 Rottluff - 1976 Berlin)Stillleben mit Flaschen und braunem KrugStil- und motivtypisches, 1966 entstandenes Blatt aus dem reifen Oeuvre des Expressionisten. Schmidt-Rottluff, der mit Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner und Max Pechstein 1905-1913 Mitglied der Künstlergruppe "Brücke" war, hatte schon in dieser Zeit erste Stillleben geschaffen. In den 1960er Jahren wurden Gegenstände und Blumen zu dominierenden Bildmotiven des Künstlers. Zugleich gewannen die unmittelbar umgesetzten Papierarbeiten immer mehr an Bedeutung, nicht zuletzt nachdem Schmidt-Rottluff 1963 die Ölmalerei gänzlich aufgab. Auch stilistisch und technisch ist ein deutlicher Wandel festzustellen. Statt der weich-fließenden Linien in den 1950er Jahren bevorzugte er nun dynamisch-rhythmische, expressiv umbrechende und staccatoartig verkürzte Linien; durch verwobene Formen und Flächen brach Schmidt-Rottluff die Motive mosaikartig auf und erzielte einen höheren Abstraktionsgrad. Aquarell u. Tuschpinsel auf festem Bütten. R. u. sign.; Verso vom Künstler dat. (19)66; dunkelbrauner Nachlass-Stempel, Inv.-Nr. "B 801" sowie Betitelung "Mit braunem Krug" von fremder Hand (in Bleistift). 70 cm x 50 cm.Das Werk ist im Archiv der Karl und Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Stiftung dokumentiert.Wir danken Frau Christiane Remm von der Stiftung im Brücke-Museum in Berlin für freundliche Informationen.

Condition: Good age-related condition with expected traces of wear and use. Minor material loss along the margins. Only one card with a crease.

Felix Tikotin (1893-1986) was an architect, art collector, dealer, and founder of the first Museum of Japanese Art in the Middle East. He became one of the world's leading collectors of Japanese art, starting at the age of 18, and continued to collect and work as an art dealer in Berlin in the 1920s. In the 1930s Felix Tikotin fled from the Nazis and hid his collection in the Netherlands. After the war, he decided that his collection should be taken to Israel, where in 1959 and with the help of Abba Hushi, who was the mayor of Haifa, The Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art was established.

Nature holds great significance in Japanese art, textiles, and tattooing. Hand-stenciled Nintendo cards like this one are rare, dating between 1900 and 1930. The cards were printed using the kappa-zuri technique, combining hand-stenciling and woodblock or copper plate printing. Hanafuda was once associated with illicit gambling but is now played during the Japanese New Year.
