Heinrich Hoerle, BäumeWachskreide auf festem Papier. 30,5 x 22,8 cm. Unter Glas gerahmt. Am rechten Seitenrand mittig monogrammiert und datiert 'h 1931'. - Am unteren rechten Seitenrand leichte oberflächliche Bereibungen.Von Dirk Backes, Aachen, mündlich bestätigt. Die Arbeit wird in die Neufassung des Werkverzeichnisses Backes/Hanstein aufgenommen.ProvenienzPrivatbesitz Rheinland; Lempertz Köln, Auktion 788, Moderne Kunst, 6./7. Juni 2000, Lot 205; Privatsammlung Nordrhein-WestfalenUm 1924 lösten sich die beiden in Köln tätigen Maler Heinrich Hoerle und Franz W. Seiwert aus der Dada-Bewegung, um den Weg einer gesellschaftlich orientierten Kunst einzuschlagen. Als „Gruppe progressiver Künstler“ waren Hoerle und Seiwert „Anhänger der marxistischen Ideologie in ihrem einfachen und ursprünglichsten Sinne, d. h. in der Beseitigung von Ungleichheit und Gewalt, Vereinigung der Menschen aller Klassen und Nationen und Abschaffung des Eigentums.“ (Evelyn Weiss, Von Dadamax zu A – Z – Die Kölner Progressiven der zwanziger Jahre, in: Ausst. Kat. Kunstverein Frechen 1970, o. S.) Aus sozialistischen Impulsen heraus wollte Hoerle eine Kunst für Menschen aller Klassen und sah sich, wie er schrieb, als "Arbeiter im Dienste der Ausgebeuteten“. Nach künstlerischen Anfängen im Sinne der Neuen Sachlichkeit gelangte Hoerle zu einem Stil, der konstruktivistische mit realistischen Elementen verband. Diese Verbindung lässt sich auch an der angebotenen Wachskreidezeichnung „Bäume“ ablesen, bei der die wie Schornsteine aussehenden, stark abstrahierten Bäume mit einer roten Scheune in Verbindung gebracht wurden. Die Zeichnung entstand 1931 an einem Wendepunkt in Hoerles Schaffen: Abgesehen davon, dass Hoerle eine Reihe namhafter Erfolge zu verzeichnen hatte, traf er auch in maltechnischer Hinsicht eine wegweisende Entscheidung. So beschloss er in jenem Jahr, die Ölmalerei aufzugeben und stattdessen ausschließlich mit Wachsstiften zu malen. "Er verwendete die Wachsstifte vornehmlich kalt. Durch Aufreiben geben sie ein wenig Farbe ab. Die Arbeit ist mühsam und gibt keinen schnellen Effekt, zumal wenn mehrere Schichten übereinandergelegt werden sollen, damit die andere durchschimmere. […] Hoerle brachte durch intensive Mühen die in dem Medium schlummernden Möglichkeiten aber zu unerhörten Wirkungen.“ (Hans Schmitt-Rost, Heinrich Hoerle, Recklinghausen 1965, S. 20.). Wenn der Biograf von „unerhörten Wirkungen“ schreibt, dann lässt sich dies auch an der Arbeit „Bäume“ nachvollziehen. Mit höchster Präzision, feinster Linienführung und einem ausgeprägten Sinn für Farben schuf er teils flache, teils tiefenräumliche Motive und verband diese zu einer harmonischen Einheit.

There is an additional price of RS 3500 Rupees Three thousand five hundred written on to the label. This label is overlaid on top of another label, through which we can read 'For Sao Paolo Exhibition.' 'Bhupen Khakkar paints naively humorous or satirical works. His flat colours are broken by stiff characters and ornamental vegetation. Vast spaces are contrasted with little doll like figures.' (X Bienal Setembro-Dezembro 1969, p. 108)Making its auction debut, 'Residency Bungalow' is an exquisite example from Khakhar's early oeuvre and is a masterful and intimate work. Painted in 1969, two years prior to 'Portraits of my mother and my father going to Yatra,' it is not only referenced in Timothy Hyman's book, Bhupen Khakhar, as 'Sheikh at Residency Bungalow,' but was also exhibited at the September-December 1969 X São Paulo, after which it was acquired by Robert and Janice Shaw in India in the early 1970s. Robert L. Shaw had a dual career as an army intelligence offer and lawyer. He graduated from the University of Oregon in 1955, where he was president of the Chi Psi fraternity, after which he was commissioned as a regular U.S. Army officer and served as an adviser to the King's Royal Guard in Saudi Arabia. He also served two tours in Vietnam. During his career, he earned a master's and doctorate degree. His career took him to India, where he resided from 1969 until at least 1974. He served as a foreign area specialist and travelled extensively in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The Bhupen Khakhar and B. Prabha (Lot 15) were acquired during his stay in India, along with carpets, and works by the Vietnamese artist Le-Minh, the latter of which is also being offered in Bonhams' future Hong Kong sale. He learnt to speak Hindi whilst in India and was the first American to travel to Tibet and have an audience with the Dalai Lama. He wrote about the experience in an article which was published in Liberty Magazine in the 1980s. Considered a political-military scholar, he became the director of the South Asia Bureau of the Defence Intelligence Agency in Washington D.C. and retired from the army in 1977. He took a sabbatical for a year, and then enrolled at the University of Oregon's law school, from where he obtained his law degree in 1981. He subsequently joined the Eugene law firm, Luvaas, Cobb, Richards & Fraser, and was a member of the Oregon State Bar, American Bar Association, Oregon Association of Defence Counsel and the Eugene Country Club. He passed away in 1989, having battled cancer for a year and was survived by his wife, Janice, and son Scott both of whom passed away in 2022. An avid sportsman, he enjoyed polo, skiing, fly fishing and golf and spent many years sailing in Chesapeake Bay and in Hawaii, from where he collected local works of art.'Residency Bungalow' measures 130.5 x 122.5 cm and depicts a sprawling bungalow set against a vibrant blue sky. This house was Khakhar's first significant home away from Bombay and is important because it was symbolic of the new 'artistic,' 'home' and 'family' that Khakhar adopted from 1962 in Baroda. (Bhupen Khakhar in Lines of Descent: The Family in Contemporary Asian Art, a Queensland Art Gallery travelling exhibition (visualarts.qld.gov.au). Khakhar was a qualified chartered accountant and worked as such but was drawn towards art and would spend his free time pursing the subject. His interest in art can be traced to his teenage years, when aged 18 he attended an evening art class in Grant Road. Here he was taught free hand drawings and flower studies. In his 20s, he would begin to visit contemporary art exhibitions and acquired a group of intellectually minded friends who were drawn towards literature. It was during this time that he befriended Gulammohammed Sheikh, who had attended the newly Founded Faculty of Fine Arts at Baroda, and this relationship would alter the course of his career. In 1958, while taking his accountancy exams, Khakhar met a young Gujarati painter-poet, Gulammohamad Sheikh...Sheikh had attended the newly founded Faculty of Fine Arts at Baroda and spoke of it in a way that fired Khakhar's imagination. By 1960, Khakar was still helpless; he was attending an evening class at the main Bombay Art College, the Sir J.J. School of Art, which offered 'absolutely no teaching' and 'hardly any direction.' He remembers his teacher, Palsikar, speaking only to the girl students. 'He never came to instruct me, even once in six months...I was very cheesed off.' In 1961, he joined the graphics and woodcut class of Vasant Para who Khakhar considers 'my first teacher.' It was around this time that he finally took the step of showing Sheikh – by now part of the Baroda Faculty – his portfolio. The response was guarded but sympathetic. 'Why don't you come to Baroda? You are now a fully qualified accountant; if it doesn't work out well, you can always resume.' (Timothy Hyman, Bhupen Khakhar, Chemould Publication and Arts, 1998, p. 9)Residency Bungalow becomes the starting point in many ways for Bhupen, as this is his first proper home away from Bombay and where the style of work he becomes known for flourishes; he did live with GM Sheikh at the Shivmahal Palace Farmhouse and later rented a room in a bazaar, before moving into Residency Bungalow in 1968. The old house of a one-time 'British Resident' it was divided into five residential quarters and the inhabitants included the artists, K.G Subramanyan and his family, Bhupen Khakhar, Gulammohammed Sheikh, Jeram Patel, and Krishna Chhatpar. They lived here for about a year, and it was during this time that Khakhar travelled around India, to Bundi-Kota, Udaipur, Nathdwara and Chandigarh along with Sheikh and began to absorb the techniques of traditional Indian paintings. Upon his return from these travels, his style had altered, and there was a marked difference in his works. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
