Hauswedell & Nolte, Hamburg, 206. Auktion, 5.6.1975, Los 362, S. 117 (mit Abb.). Nach einigen wenigen Jahren der figurativen Malerei mit expressionistischen und kubistischen Tendenzen findet Walter Dexel in den 1920er Jahren zu einer ganz freien, abstrakten Bildsprache ohne Bezüge zur Wirklichkeit. Durch seine Freundschaften und engen Beziehungen zu Bauhaus-Künstlern wie László Moholy-Nagy, dem Dadaisten Kurt Schwitters und dem De-Stijl-Künstler Theo van Doesburg lernt er die konstruktivistische Malerei kennen und löst sich um 1922 auch aufgrund dieser Einflüsse seines direkten künstlerischen Umfelds schließlich endgültig vom Gegenstand. Mit logischen, mathematisch-rationalen Regeln und der Konzentration auf wenige, einfache elementare Formen komponiert er nun klare, streng geometrische Gefüge in fast puristischer Reinheit, in denen Motiv und Hintergrund zu einer 'gemeinsamen' Fläche zusammenwachsen. In immer neuen Anordnungen und Variationen lotet Dexel das spannungsvolle Verhältnis von Farben, Formen, Linien und seltener auch Buchstaben und Ziffern innerhalb einer rechteckigen Bildfläche aus. Im Hinblick auf eine spätere Realisierung als Hinterglasbild schafft Dexel 1926 einige wenige, sehr starke Kompositionen in fast quadratischem Format. Das hier vorliegende, kontrastreiche Werk mit seiner fast poetischen Verbindung kräftiger, satter Farben und zarter Mischtöne sowie kantiger, eckiger Formen, feiner Linien und eines die Komposition aufbrechenden Halbrunds scheint er jedoch selbst für die gelungenste Komposition gehalten zu haben, denn genau diese entsteht im selben Jahr als Hinterglasbild. Heute ist es Teil der Sammlung des Sprengel Museums in Hannover. Dexel verfolgt sein Ziel mit einer unerschütterlichen Konsequenz, diese sichert ihm eine herausragende Stellung unter den Konstruktivisten seiner Zeit. Mehrfach stellt Dexel in der Berliner Galerie Der Sturm u. a. mit Oskar Schlemmer und Willi Baumeister aus. Auch die hier angebotene Arbeit beweist in ihrer stark konturierten, klaren Formensprache und einer ganz eigenen Poesie im Einsatz der Farben sowie in der Anordnung der Formen Dexels so bedeutende Rolle in der konstruktivistischen Kunst des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts, ebenso sein progressives Denken und seine innovative schöpferische Kraft, mit der sich sein frappierend zeitloses Schaffen auch im internationalen Vergleich bis heute zu behaupten weiß.

Hauswedell & Nolte, Hamburg, 206th auction, 1975, lot 362, p. 117 (with illu.). After a few years of figurative painting with expressionist and cubist tendencies, Walter Dexel found a completely free, abstract visual language without any reference to reality in the 1920s. Through his friendships and close relationships with Bauhaus artists such as László Moholy-Nagy, the Dadaist Kurt Schwitters and the De Stijl artist Theo van Doesburg, he got to know constructivist painting. Around 1922 he eventually detached himself, also owed to the influences his artistic environment had on him, from the subject. With logical, mathematical-rational rules and the concentration on a few, simple elementary forms, he now composed clear, strictly geometric structures in almost puristic clarity, in which motif and background grow together and share a 'common' surface. In ever new arrangements and variations, Dexel explored the fascinating relationship between colors, shapes, lines and, more rarely, letters and numbers within a rectangular image space. With regards to a later realization as a reverse glass painting, Dexel created a few very strong compositions in an almost squared format in 1926. This work presented here, with its strong contrasts and an almost poetic combination of strong, rich colors and delicately mixed tones, as well as with angular shapes, fine lines and a semicircle that loosens the composition up, must have been a composition the artist himself considered particularly felicitous, as he made a reverse glass picture of it the same year. Today it is part of the collection of the Sprengel Museum in Hanover. Dexel pursues his goal with a strong consistency that earned him an outstanding position among the constructivists of his time. Dexel had several shows at the Berlin gallery Der Sturm, among others, with Oskar Schlemmer and Willi Baumeister. With its strong contours, the clear forms and its unique poetic touch in the use of colors and in the arrangement of the forms, the work offered here also testifies to Dexel's important role in Constructivism of the early 20th century, as well as to the progressiveness and innovative creativity through which his astonishingly timeless work stands out to this day.

Fritz Winter - - 1905 Altenbögge - 1976 Herrsching am Ammersee Ohne Titel. 1936. Mischtechnik. Öl und Wachskreide auf Papier. Lohberg 664. Rechts unten monogrammiert und datiert. Auf chamoisfarbenem Ingres-Bütten (mit Wasserzeichen). 63,5 x 48,5 cm (25 x 19 in), blattgroß. [JS]. • Frühes 'Licht-Gemälde', das mit seinem Formenrepertoire und seiner transluziden Schwerelosigkeit entscheidende Elemente von Winters berühmtem Zyklus 'Triebkräfte der Erde' (1944) vorwegnimmt. • Herausragendes Zeugnis von Winters meisterlicher Inszenierung sich sanft überlagernder, kristalliner Formgebilde, das Winters Nähe zum zeitgleichen avantgardistischen Schaffen Naum Gabos belegt. • Wie in dem 1944 geschaffenen Werkzyklus 'Triebkräfte der Erde' gelingt Winter hier bereits eine von innerem Leuchten getragene Komposition, die durch ihre metaphysische Präsenz begeistert. • Bereits in den 1950er Jahren stellt Winter in Amerika aus und ist auf zwei Ausstellungen des Museum of Modern Art, New York, vertreten.

Fritz Winter zum 100. Geburtstag, Kunst-Museum Ahlen, 10.9.2005-29.1.2006. Blind Date Istanbul, Sabanci University Sakip Sabanci Museum, Istanbul, 8.9-1.11.2007. Von einzigartiger Immaterialität und von einem sanften inneren Leuchten getragen sind Winters frühe 'Licht-Gemälde' der 1930er Jahre. In dieser wunderbaren Komposition hat Winter das 'immaterielle' Weiß zum Protagonisten erklärt, dessen abstrakte Formgebilde sich scheinbar flüchtig und schwerelos überlagern und im Zentrum verdichten, vor die scheinbar unendliche Weite des dunklen Raumes treten. Winter strebt in diesen seltenen frühen Kompositionen danach, geistig-immaterielle Inhalte zu schaffen, und nutzt dafür eine gesteigerte Reduktion der Bildmittel. Ab 1934 erreicht Winters Beschäftigung mit der Raum-Licht-Durchdringung dann ihren Höhepunkt und er nähert sich in seinen von universellen Gedanken getragenen Kompositionen schließlich, wie in der vorliegenden Arbeit, den frühen transluziden Plastiken des russischen Konstruktivisten Naum Gabo. Gabo gründet 1931 zusammen mit Theo van Doesburg, Auguste Herbin, Antoine Pevsner und Georges Vantongerloo in Paris die Künstlerbewegung 'Abstraction-Création', die bis 1937 auch einen gleichnamigen Almanach herausgibt und damit entscheidende theoretische Vorarbeit für die abstrakte Malerei liefert. Winter, der sich selbst bereits um 1930 konsequent der abstrakten Malerei verschrieben hatte, wird das Schaffen dieser avantgardistischen Vorreitergeneration genauestens verfolgt haben. Und so ist das vorliegende frühe 'Licht-Gemälde' Winters ein herausragendes kunsthistorisches Zeugnis seines Austausches mit den avantgardistischen Strömungen der Zeit und sein herausragender künstlerischer Beitrag zu jener internationalen Aufbruchstimmung, die schließlich u. a. mit der informellen Malerei der Nachkriegszeit breite öffentliche Anerkennung erlangen sollte.

[JS]. • Outstanding early composition, which, owing to its repertoire of forms and its translucid weightlessness, anticipates key elements of Winter's famous cycle 'Triebkräfte der Erde' (Driving Forces of the Earth, 1944) • Early documents of Winter's masterly orchestration of gently superimposing crystalline forms over a dark earthen ground • In this work Winter realized a composition characterized by an inner glow and metaphysic presence that is comparable with the cycle 'Treibkräfte der Erde' from 1944 • Winter showed works in the USA in two exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, as early as in the 1950s.
