Walter Nessler, German 1912-2001- Untitled; abstract composition, mixed media on board, signed, 60x50cm. Note: Born in Leipzig in 1912, studied painting at the Castelli Italian Art School, 1933-35.Nessler was developing at a dangerous time, as the Nazis were denouncing what they termed "Degenerate Art". He was one of a free-thinking group that met in a Dresden café where Gestapo spies were planted. Realising that Nessler and his friends might express subversive sentiments, the proprietor discreetly made a back room available where they could talk unheard. Although not Jewish, Nessler opposed Hitler`s National Socialism. While working as a window-dresser for a store, as a joke he placed on top of a Christmas tree not the usual decoration but the Star of David, prompting his instant dismissal. Shortly before leaving Germany, Nessler produced Das Hitler ABC ("The Hitler ABC"), each letter of which lampooned - often savagely - Hitler`s characteristics. He went on to study sculpture with Elisabeth Frink at St Martin`s School of Art in London, later teaching there. Use of an oil-sand technique at the end of the 1950s and the discovery of polyester resin in the 1960s added further dimensions to his work. Nessler showed in many mixed exhibitions, including those of the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists as well as with private galleries in London, the provinces and abroad. In Rome in the early 1970s he won gold and silver medals. He was featured in key exile-artists exhibitions, such as London Artists from Germany, at the German Embassy in 1978. More than two dozen solo exhibitions latterly included five at the John Denham Gallery, between 1984 and 1997. A retrospective organised by John Denham in 1990 coincided with new recognition for Nessler in Germany.
