AR * Peake (Mervyn, 1911-1968). Illustrated Autograph Letter Signed, ‘Mervyn’, no place or date, [?Sark, 1947], to David, in sepia ink, sending some money and mentioning mutual friends, Christmas plans and hearing [Mary Norton’s] ‘Magic Bedknob’ on the radio, ‘Finance seems sticky. Here are two miserably little cheque-lets, but £100 ought to be forthcoming any moment. The snag is Xmas … We heard Mary's “magic” bed-knob on the wireless the other night. Awfully well done. Love to Chick and Wendy from us both’, with a large fantastical long-billed creature playing a semi-circular grand piano drawn to the upper half of the page with text below and the caption, ‘“Let me see - how did that passage go?”’ written at the top, a few minor marks and some slight splitting along folds, 1 page, 4to (225 x 175 mm), tipped onto paper, mount aperture, together with a small pencil drawing of a man’s head on paper, attributed to Mervyn Peake, water stain to lower left area of image, 95 x 73 mm, both framed and glazedQTY: (2)NOTE:The recipient of the letter was most likely William Eric Davis MBE, (1908-1996), better known by his professional name David Davis. He was a British radio executive and broadcaster, working as a voice actor and storyteller. He was the head of the BBC Children's Hour. An accomplished pianist, he joined Children’s Hour as a staff accompanist in 1935. He soon began to perform as a reader too and became Head of Children’s Hour in 1953. He was married to Barbara Sleigh, a children’s writer and broadcaster herself. Mary Norton’s Magic Bedknob was broadcast as a BBC Children’s Hour serial in 1947 and it is likely that Davis was involved in at least one role, possibly as the storyteller. At this date Mervyn Peake and his wife Maeve were living on Sark.

Emil Nolde 1867 Nolde/Nordschleswig - 1956 Seebüll/Schleswig-Holstein Rosa Wolke über der Marsch. Um 1935/1940. Aquarell auf Papier. Rechts unten signiert. Auf Japanbütten. 34 x 42 cm (13,3 x 16,5 in), blattgroß. [KA]. • Mit seinen stimmungsvollen Landschaftsbildern ist Emil Nolde einer der größten Koloristen und Aquarellisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. • Dramatische, ungewöhnliche Wolkenformation über Noldes Heimat Seebüll. • Seit über 35 Jahren Teil derselben Privatsammlung. • Durch Kontrastierung des ruhigen grauen Himmels mit den dramatischen rosa Wolken zaubert Nolde einen fantastischen Ausdruck innerer Sehnsucht. Der Wissenschaftliche Beirat der Stiftung Seebüll Ada und Emil Nolde hat die Aufnahme des Werkes in ein künftiges Werkverzeichnis der Aquarelle und Zeichnungen von Emil Nolde (1867–1956) bestätigt. PROVENIENZ: Galerie Neher, Essen. Privatsammlung Princeton (1985 vom Vorgenannten erworben). Vom jetzigen Eigentümer vom Vorgenannten erworben. AUSSTELLUNG: Galerie Neher, Essen (auf der Rahmenrückpappe mit dem Etikett, hier betitelt: Rosa Wolke über der Marsch). 'Nolde schöpft aus einem unermeßlichen Schatz an Erfahrungen, er hat die Natur tausendfach durchlebt, hat seine Erfahrungen und Erlebnisse inmitten der Natur und im Umgang mit dem bildnerischen Material ständig erneuert und überprüft, bis die Bilder wie freie Erfindungen aus der Erinnerung hervortreten und zu dichterischen Bildern werden.' Martin Urban, Emil Nolde. Landschaften. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Köln 2002, S. 28. 'Die Augen des Malers sehen und sehen, immer und immer, aufnehmend, vergleichend, ordnend, gestaltend und auch schlafend, träumend immer auch in Vorstellungen, oft so schön wie niemals gesehen.' (Emil Nolde, zit. nach: Martin Urban, Emil Nolde. Landschaften. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Köln 1993, S. 28) So schreibt Emil Nolde selbst im hohen Alter über seine fantasievolle Malweise, die sein künstlerisches Schaffen, insbesondere seine Landschaftsaquarelle, dominiert. In seinen Landschaften ist Nolde entschlossen, der Natur die menschliche Perspektive zu geben, sie nicht bloß als Betrachter zu sehen, sondern zu fühlen und aus dem Bewusstsein von ihr – und damit von sich selbst – zu gestalten. Durch die Neuinterpretation der Landschaft ist Nolde zugleich ihr Schöpfer und ihre Seele, ein bildender Dichter. Noldes Werke werden als 'Seelenlandschaften' bezeichnet – ein '[..] freier und unmittelbarer Ausdruck des künstlerischen und menschlichen Erlebens' (M. Urban, in: E. Nolde. Landschaften. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Köln 1969, S. 7). In 'Rosa Wolke über der Marsch' spielt Nolde mit den dramatischen Effekten von Licht und Wolkenformationen und erschafft die Landschaft auf magische Weise aus einer Mischung aus Erinnerung und künstlerischer Kreativität neu. Ohne Skizze gemalt, werden die Farben durch die Nass-in-Nass-Technik aufgetragen, um ihre fließenden Formen zu erhalten. Der weite Himmel erscheint durch die dramatischen rosafarbenen Wolken, die sich über die drohenden Grautöne erstrecken, aufgespalten. An den Rändern der farbenfrohen Landschaft in Grün und den dunkelroten Bauernhäusern erscheinen orangefarbene Lichtreflexe. Dank seiner herausragenden künstlerischen Fähigkeiten verleiht Nolde der Landschaft ein neues Gesicht und erweitert unsere Sichtweise auf höchst ungewöhnliche Weise. Durch Licht und Farben werden Emil Noldes Landschaften in Sphären jenseits der reinen bildlichen Interpretation gehoben. Sie werden zu Äußerungen aus dem Inneren, einzigartig poetisch in ihrem Ausdruck. [KA] Aufrufzeit: 07.12.2024 - ca. 14.57 h +/- 20 Min.

Um 1935/1940. Watercolor on paper. Signed in the lower right. On laid paper. 34 x 42 cm (13.3 x 16.5 in), the full sheet. [KA]. • His vibrant landscapes made Emil Nolde one of the greatest colorists of the 20th century. • Atmospheric depiction of Nolde's hometown of Seebüll. • Part of the same private collection for over 35 years. • By contrasting the calm gray sky with the dramatic pink clouds, Nolde conjures up a fantastic expression of inner yearning. The Academic Advisory Board of the Foundation Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde has confirmed the inclusion of the work in a future catalogue raisonné of Emil Nolde's (1867-1956) watercolors and drawings. PROVENANCE: Galerie Neher, Essen. Private collection, Princeton (acquired from the above in 1985). Purchased by the current owner from the above. EXHIBITION: Galerie Neher, Essen (with the label on the rear of the frame, titled: Rosa Wolke über der Marsch). 'Nolde drew from an immense wealth of experience. He internalized nature in a thousand different ways, constantly renewing and reviewing his experience and adventures in the midst of nature and his approach to the pictorial material until the images emerged from his memory like free inventions and became poetic images.' Martin Urban, Emil Nolde. Landschaften. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Cologne 2002, p. 28 “The eyes of the painter see and see, over and over again, absorbing, comparing, organizing, designing but also sleeping, dreaming, always becoming immersed in images, often as beautiful as never seen before.” (Emil Nolde, quoted from: Martin Urban, Emil Nolde. Landschaften. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Cologne 1993, p. 28) Even at an old age, Emil Nolde wrote about his imaginative painting style, which characterized his artistic work, especially his landscape watercolors, in which Nolde was determined to give nature a human perspective, not just to see it as a viewer, but to feel and be a part of it and to create from this awareness. In his reinterpretation of landscape, Nolde becomes both its creator and its soul, a visual poet. Nolde's works are often referred to as “soul landscapes” – a “[.] free and direct expression of artistic and human experience” (M. Urban, in: E. Nolde. Landschaften. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Cologne 1969, p. 7). In “Rosa Wolke über der Marsch”, Nolde draws on the dramatic effects of light and cloud formations to recreate a magic landscape from both memory and creativity. Executed without preparatory sketches, he used the wet-on-wet technique to apply the colors, which enabled him to achieve the unique effect of flowing forms. The wide sky appears to be split by the dramatic pink clouds that stretch across the looming gray tones. Glimmers of orange appear at the edges of the colorful landscape in green, the blue groves and the dark red farmhouses. Owing to his outstanding artistic qualities, Nolde gave the landscape a new face and expanded our perception of it. Through light and colors, the artist took his landscapes to realms beyond pure pictorial interpretation, making then unique poetic expressions of the soul.
