†CONRAD FELIXMULLER (1897-1977) PORTRAIT OF MR ROWLAND ABSALOM AT OXHEY GRANGE WITH "GAY DAWN" AND "DINA" signed and dated 1939, 141 x 101cm Gv. no 779 in Felixmuller`s catalogue (Gemaldeverrzeichnis). Provenance: The sitter; thence by descent to the present vendor. Exhibited: Leicester, Leicestershire Museum and Art Gallery, Conrad Felixmuller 1897-1977 Between Politics and the Studio, 17 September to 30 October 1994, Catalogue No.56. The German Expressionist artist Condrad Felix Muller (as he was originally named) was born in Dresden. After training as a painter, the young Felixmuller`s artistic development was rapid and mirrored by an acute political awareness, both in the 1914-18 war when he was a conscientious objector and during the Weimar Republic (1919-1938). Many of his pictures were shown in the 1933 Dresden exhibition of so called decadent art and also later, in the notorious 1937 Munich exhibition of "degenerate" art when 151 of his works were confiscated by the Nazis. Such persecution led him to leave Germany, travelling firstly to Norway and in 1939 to England at the invitation of Hilmar and Gonda von Stamford, nee Neale, whose double portrait (Gv. no 776) he had painted in Berlin in 1938. During the three months he spent in England, staying in Cardiff and London he painted several views of London and two or three portraits, including the present lot, of friends of the Stamfords. Felixmuller`s bravura portrait of Rowland Absalom holding his unsaddled horse `Grey Dawn` is set on the gently sloping parkland of Oxley Grange, his Hertfordshire estate. His black Labrador `Dina` completes the trio. The typical expressive use of several compositional devices result in a striking, dynamic image. This, when combined with the quintessential Englishness of the setting, is highly unusual. The leaden skies is an obvious portent of the imminent outbreak of total war as felt then by all sensible people and is especially poignant being in the hand of an anti-Nazi artist straight from Germany. The portrait also typifies the fully developed cool detachment or `Neue Sachlichkeit` (new objectivity) that marks the culmination of an approach to portraiture that Felixmuller had first experimented with on the late 1920s. To the National Socialists such discernment, with its less obviously distorted and blatantly subversive imagery might seem marginally less repugnant. Felixmuller returned to Berlin and only narrowly escaped with his life, loosing both his work and Berlin studio during the terror that was about to descend. ++In beautifully preserved untouched condition requiring only a light clean, the support not lined, holed, torn or restored, no overpainting, on the original stretchers. Entirely fresh to market not hitherto offered for sale
