November 2011. Die Arbeit ist im Archiv der Zeichnungen und Aquarelle Lyonel Feiningers unter der Nr. 1066-11-01-11 aufgenommen.ProvenienzMarlborough International Fine Art, London (Rahmenetikett); Privatsammlung Norddeutschland„Ich lebe von der Erinnerung und der Sehnsucht - sie bilden wohl die Triebkraft zu allen tiefen Werken der Kunst; aber das berauschende Erleben von Neuem und Congenialem schafft den Boden für eine große Erneuerung und Vision [...]“ schreibt Lyonel Feininger 1930 an seine Frau Julia (Brief vom 9. August 1930, zit. nach Ausst. Kat. Feininger. Frühe Werke und Freunde, Wuppertal 2006, S. 67).Als Künstler begeisterte sich Feininger zeitlebens für maritime Themen, und so verwundert es nicht, dass er sich 1949 mit großem Elan dem Auftrag eines großformatigen Wandbildes für die im Bau befindliche SS Constitution widmet. Konzipiert als klassischer Ocean-Liner sollte der Dampfer noch im selben Jahr in Massachusetts vom Stapel laufen. Für die Reederei American Export Lines fuhr die Constitution ab 1951 zunächst im Liniendienst auf der Route New York-Genua-Neapel-Gibraltar und später auch als Kreuzfahrtschiff. Von Feininger sind eine Reihe von Entwürfen für dieses Projekt überliefert, die an Bord jedoch nicht zur Ausführung kamen. Umso wichtiger erscheinen somit heute die panoramaartigen Aquarelle des Künstlers, in denen Feininger seine atmosphärischen marinen Szenen noch einmal in ein ganz besonderes Format bringt. In unseren Entwürfen greift Feininger nicht auf Dampfer wie die Constitution zurück, sondern auf geisterhaft wirkende Großsegler. Wie als Botschafter eines vergangenen Zeitalters nähern sie sich dem Betrachter prachtvoll geschmückt mit phantastischen Flaggen aus dem Nebel. Lyonel FeiningerDesign for Mural "SS Constitution".

The work is registered in the archive of drawings and watercolours by Lyonel Feininger under no. 1066-11-01-11.ProvenanceMarlborough International Fine Art, London (Rahmenetikett); Privatsammlung Norddeutschland“I live on memory and yearning - they surely form the driving force behind all deep works of art; however, the intoxicating experience of the new and congenial provides the soil for a great renewal and vision,” wrote Lyonel Feininger to his wife Julia in 1930 (Letter of 9 August 1930, cited in exhib. cat. Feininger. Frühe Werke und Freunde, Wuppertal 2006, p. 67).Throughout his life, maritime subjects captivated Feininger as an artist, and so it is no surprise that, in 1950, he enthusiastically devoted his attention to a commission to create a large-format wall painting for the SS Constitution, which was being built at that time. Conceived as a classic ocean liner, the steamer was to be launched later that year in Massachusetts. From 1951 the Constitution served the line New York-Genoa-Naples-Gibraltar for the company American Export Lines and later also served as a cruise liner. A number of Feininger's design sketches for this project are preserved, although they were never carried out on-board. The artist's panorama-like watercolours thus seem all the more important today: in them, Feininger once again introduces his atmospheric maritime scenes into a very distinctive format. In our designs, Feininger makes use not of steamers like the Constitution but spectral tall ships. Like emissaries from a bygone era they emerge out of the fog, splendidly adorned with fantastic flags, to present themselves to their viewers.

Marcia HafifHeliogen Blue Öl auf Leinwand 147 x 147 cm. Auf der umgeschlagenen Leinwand signiert, datiert und betitelt 'HELIOGEN BLUE MARCIA HAFIF MARCH 21. 1999.'ProvenienzPrivatsammlung, Süddeutschland„Marcia Hafif scheint seit jeher 'auf der Suche nach Neutralem'. Dies versteht sich jedoch keineswegs als Betonung einer Neutralität des vollendeten Gemäldes. Sie versucht, den Ursprung, wie die zu bestimmenden Maße, die Standardisierung des Keilrahmens oder das Malmittel, den Farbwert, neutral, nicht spektakulär zu halten. Weiter setzte sie sich in ihren Bildern wie in den Zeichnungen mit Verschiedentonigkeit, also Farbabstufungen, auseinander. Ganz entgegen dieser Suche 'nach Neutralem' sind die Farben als Material zu sehen. Überall sammelte sie voll Begeisterung Farben, deren Namen allein schon Geschichten erzählen: Mandarin Yellow, Peach parfait, Elfenbeinschwarz usw. Sie geben gleichzeitig auch der entstandenen Arbeit ihren Titel. Ferner belegt sie in Studien bis ins kleinste Detail diese Suche von Ursprung bis endgültiger Erscheinung der sich überlagernden Farbe auf der Oberfläche des Trägers. Hier wurde Farbe gesucht, in ihrem Entstehungsprozeß erkannt, um dann in individueller Textur, die sich aus der zeitlichen Dimension des Hintereinanders und dem Gestus des Pinsels entwickelte, darzustellen.“ (Ulrike Schuck, Malerei und Farbe, in: Marcia Hafif, Erik Saxon, Ausst.Kat.

Signed, dated and titled 'HELIOGEN BLUE MARCIA HAFIF MARCH 21. 1999.' on canvas overlap.ProvenancePrivate collection, South Germany„Marcia Hafif seems always to have been 'in search of the neutral'. This does not mean an emphasis on neutrality in the finished painting. Instead, she tries to keep everything neutral and avoid the spectacular in the source, the sizes, the standard measurements of the stretchers, the paint and the color. In her paintings as in her drawings she deals with differentiations and gradiations of colors. In contrast to the ‚search for the neutral' colors become her material. She collects colors everywhere with great enthusiasm, colors whose names tell stories, such as ‚mandarin yellow', 'peach parfait', ‚ivory black'. They also lend titles to her works. In her studies she documents meticulously her search from the beginning to the final appearance of the layererd color on its surface. In this process color is actually searched out and discovered so as to be presented in an individual texture, developed out of the dimension of time in painting and the gesture of the brush“.

Cornelis KickStillleben mit Römerglas, Orange und Zitronen Öl auf Holz. 43 x 31,5 cm.Signiert Mitte rechts: Corn. Kick.ProvenienzAuktion Sotheby-Mak van Waay, Amsterdam, 30.11.1981, Lot 54.AusstellungenHolländische Malerei aus Berliner Privatbesitz, Berlin, Gemäldegalerie Staatliche Museen Preußischer Kulturbesitz, 1984, Nr. 31.LiteraturJan Kelch: Ausst.-Kat. „Holländische Malerei aus Berliner Privatbesitz“, Berlin 1984, S. 66-67, Nr. 31, mit Abb. – Susanne Rütten, in Ekkehard Mai (Hg.): Das Kabinett des Sammlers, Köln 1993, S. 144-145, Nr. 56, mit Abb.Vor tiefdunklem Hintergrund präsentiert uns der Amsterdamer Stilllebenmaler Cornelis Kick genau sieben Objekte, eng aneinander und nahe an den Rand einer Steinplatte gerückt: ein mit Weißwein halb gefülltes Römerglas, eine Orange, eine Zitrone, ein aufgeschnittenes Zitronenachtel, eine dünne Zitronenscheibe, ein kleiner Zitronenkern und ein Messer, dessen elfenbeinerner Griff leicht über die Tischkante hervorragt. Mit diesen wenigen Gegenständen - hinzu kommen noch einige Wassertropfen - schafft Cornelis Kick eine spannungsreich leicht aus der Mittelachse gerückte Komposition, die insbesondere durch den starken Kontrast der strahlend hell wiedergegebenen Früchte zur dunklen Steinplatte und zum tiefdunklen Hintergrund die Aufmerksamkeit des Betrachters auf sich zieht. Das prachtvolle Römerglas hebt sich vom dunklen Hintergrund vor allem durch die meisterhaft gesetzten Lichtreflexe und -spiegelungen ab: Die obere Hälfte des Kelchs wird lediglich durch linienförmige Lichtreflexe am Rand sowie eine flächige Spiegelung an der Wandung wahrnehmbar, im unteren Teil des Kelchs sind es gelbliche Reflexe, die den Eindruck von Weißwein evozieren, und am Schaft wiederum unzählige winzige, punktförmige Lichtreflexe, die die Darstellung der himbeerförmigen Verzierungen erzeugen.Schon Arnold Houbraken rühmte in seiner 1718/19 erschienenen „De groote schouburgh“ die detaillierte Wiedergabe der Objekte in den Stillleben Kicks. Dennoch gibt der Künstler bis heute Rätsel auf: So wird schon sein Geburtsdatum in der Literatur unterschiedlich mit 1634 oder 1635 angegeben. Neben seiner Tätigkeit als Maler hat Kick möglicherweise einen Laden geführt, sicher erscheint nur, dass er zeitlebens in bzw. vor den Toren der Stadt Amsterdam lebte und zu seinen Schülern die bedeutenden Stilllebenmaler Jacob van Walscapelle und Elias van den Broeck gehörten. Houbraken berichtete in seiner „groote schouburgh“ auch von Portraitdarstellungen des Cornelis Kick („Hy zelf schilderde ook Beelden en Pourtretten“), allerdings sind Bildnisse aus seiner Hand heute nicht mehr nachweisbar. So sind es nunmehr ausschließlich Stillleben, insbesondere Blumenstücke, für die der Künstler bekannt ist, und die wegen ihrer genauen Naturbeobachtung und der brillanten Wiedergabe der Oberflächentexturen und Lichtreflexe geschätzt werden. Insgesamt sind Werke des Künstlers ausgesprochen rar - noch rarer sind seine Stillleben mit Früchten oder kostbaren Gegenständen wie unser vorliegendes Gemälde, das sowohl durch die Monumentalisierung alltäglicher Gegenstände als auch die Atmosphäre der Stille bis heute fasziniert. Cornelis KickStill life with a Roemer, an Orange and Lemons Oil on panel. 43 x 31.5 cm.Signed centre right: Corn. Kick.ProvenanceAnonymous sale, Sotheby-Mak van Waay, Amsterdam, 30 November 1981, lot 54.ExhibitionsHolländische Malerei aus Berliner Privatbesitz, Berlin, Gemäldegalerie, 1984, no. 31.LiteratureJan Kelch: Holländische Malerei aus Berliner Privatbesitz, Berlin 1984, exhib. cat., pp. 66-7, no. 31, reproduced;Susanne Rütten, in Ekkehard Mai (ed.): Das Kabinett des Sammlers, Cologne 1993, pp. 144-145, no. 56, reproduced.The Amsterdam still life painter Cornelis Kick presents exactly seven objects in front of a dark background, placed close together and towards the edge of a stone slab: a Roemer glass half filled with white wine, an orange, lemon, a lemon wedge, a thin slice of lemon, a small lemon pip and a knife with its ivory handle protruding slightly over the edge of the table. With these few objects, as well as a few drops of water, Cornelis Kick creates an exciting composition that is slightly off-centre, and attracts the observer especially through the strong contrast of the bright fruits against the dark stone slab and the deep dark background. The splendid Roemer glass stands out against the dark background particularly through the masterfully placed light reflections and mirroring: The upper half of the goblet is only noticeable by the linear light reflections on its edge as well as a flat mirroring on its side. In the lower part of the goblet, yellow reflections evoke the impression of white wine and countless tiny, dot-shaped points of light on the stem evoke the raspberry-shaped decorations. Arnold Houbraken had already praised the detailed reproduction of the objects in Kick's still life in his De groote schouburgh published in 1718/19. The artist nevertheless poses riddles to this day: His date of birth is listed in the literature as 1634 or 1635; aside his activity as a painter, Kick may have had a shop. The only thing that seems certain is that he lived all his life in or just outside the city of Amsterdam and that his students included the important still life painter Jacob van Walscapelle and Elias van den Broeck. In his De groote schouburgh, Houbraken also reported on Cornelis Kick's portraits (Hy zelf schilderde ook Beelden en Pourtretten), although none are identifiable as by him today. It is therefore exclusively still lifes, especially flowers, for which the artist is known, and which are appreciated for their precise observation of nature and the brilliant reproduction of surface textures and light reflections. On the whole, works by the artist are extremely rare - rarer still are his still lifes with fruits or precious objects such as the present painting which continue to fascinate today through the monumentalising of everyday items and the atmosphere of stillness.
