Rudolf HausnerBewegung, Rhythmische Komposition in fünf Takten II1961Tempera und Harzölfarben auf Seide, montiert auf Novopanplatte; gerahmt138 x 28 cmSigniert und datiert rechts oben: R. Hausner 61Rückseitig signiert, bezeichnet und datiert: Rudolf Hausner, "Bewegung", 1961, (Rhythmische Komposition in 5 Takten)Privatbesitz, WienWalter Schurian, Edition Volker Huber, Hausner. Neue Bilder, 1982-1994, S. 262, Abb. 32;Hans Holländer, Edition Volker Huber, Hausner. Werkmonographie, Offenbach am Main 1985, S. 123 und S. 258.Eine Gruppe junger Künstler, die sich in der Klasse von Albert Paris Gütersloh zusammengefunden hat, wendet sich nach Kriegsende dem Surrealismus zu. Zu ihnen gehören Ernst Fuchs, Wolfgang Hutter, Anton Lehmden, Arik Brauer sowie der fünfzehn Jahre ältere Rudolf Hausner. Gemeinsam begründen sie die "Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus". Trotz der äußerst unterschiedlichen Charaktere der einzelnen Protagonisten, eint doch alle eine Vorliebe für das Phantastische, überbordend Phantasievolle und ein Hang zu einer bis zum Äußersten getriebenen technischen Perfektion.Rudolf Hausner erzielt mit einer altmeisterlichen Lasurtechnik eine besondere Leuchtkraft und Tiefe in seinen Bildern. Erst durch das Zusammenwirken sorgsam übereinander gelegter, transparenter Farbschichten entsteht eine absolut glatte Bildoberfläche mit einer verblüffend illusionistischen Tiefenwirkung. Thematisch entwickelt er seine Werke ganz aus der Introspektion, der Beobachtung der eigenen seelischen Vorgänge. Er versteht die Malerei als inneren Monolog. Während des Kriegsdienstes 1941, mit anderen Soldaten während eines Schneesturms in einem engen Blockhaus in der slowakischen Tatra eingeschlossen, macht er erste Erfahrungen mit "Projektionen" des Unbewussten. Es bleibt nicht viel, als ständig die gleiche Holzwand anzustarren, dabei entdeckt er immer wieder neue Landschaften, die sich dort formieren. Diese Art Assoziationen in Gang zu setzen wird er in weiterer Folge "Tatra"-Methode nennen und immer wieder in seinen Arbeitsprozess einbauen.1961 – zwei Jahre nach der Gründung der "Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus" und der Teilnahme Rudolf Hausners an der Documenta II in Kassel – entstanden, verweist der Titel des Bildes "Bewegung, Rhythmische Komposition in fünf Takten" auf die zweite große Begabung des Künstlers, der musikalisch höchstbegabt als Pianist des Pinguin Jazz Quartetts in den 1930er Jahren in Europa und Nordafrika unterwegs war. Die fünf Takte beziehen sich aber auch auf die Gliederung des extremen Querformats in fünf Quadrate, die nebeneinander aufgereiht sind und sich durch unterschiedlichen Beleuchtungsszenarien voneinander abgrenzen.Ganz links sehen wir einen rotglühenden Feuerball, der im Inneren kreisrunde Strukturen aufweist. Mehrere Assoziationen drängen sich hier auf. Wir denken an die abendliche Sonne, aber auch den Urknall, als Anbeginn allen Seins, der erst die Entstehung unseres Sternensystems ermöglicht hat. Das Licht der Sonne wiederum ist ebenso wie Wasser die Grundvoraussetzung für die Entstehung der ersten lebensfähigen Zellen. Die runden Strukturen im Inneren des Lichtballs lassen an den Prozess der Zellteilung denken, die das Wachstum und die Fortpflanzung aller Lebewesen gewährleistet. Nach rechts hin sendet dieses erste Quadrat Strahlen und kreisförmige Lichtpunkte aus, die die helle Spitze eines Farnblattes berühren, das in weitere drei Segmente unterteilt immer mehr im Dunkeln verschwindet. Farne gehören zu den ältesten Pflanzen unserer Erde und haben vor Millionen Jahren als Bäume unseren Planten bedeckt. Hier stehen sie wohl als Sinnbild für alles Leben, das dem Zyklus von Werden und Vergehen unterworfen ist. Die Dunkelheit des linken Quadrates steht für das Ende eines Tages, aber auch das Ende des Seins, dessen Gegenpol das gleisende, linke Quadrat bildet.(Sophie Cieslar)

Gibbon, Christie's, London, 30 October 1942, part lot 89, as A Corner ofthe Mill (3 gns to Beck).Anon. sale, Bonham's, London, 22 January 2014, lot 72.Exhibited: London, British Institute, 1839, no. 131.Literature: John Munday, E.W.Cooke A Man of his Time, Woodbridge, 1996, Appendix 2: 'Catalogue of Paintings in Oils', 38/18, p.329; Appendix 4: 'The Itinerary 1824-1879: '1838 Oct. 8 Hazersworde: Rembrandt's mill'', p.366Five paintings of 'Rembrandt's father's mill' are mentioned in the Catalogue of Paintings in Oils, three of them being roughly the same size as the present lot including one that depicts the lower chamber of the mill. The other two depict the upper floor and measure 20.5 x 20.5cm and 25 x 32cm respectively. Four of the paintings were exhibited at the British Institute in 1839.One of the versions measuring 20.5 x 20.5cm is illustrated in John Munday, E.W.Cooke A Man of his Time, Woodbridge, 1996, p.249, 38/4, illus. pl.163and was sold at Christie's, 25 January 1974 for £550 (lot 116); and Sotheby's A Great British Collection: The pictures collected by Sir David and Lady Scott, 19 November 2008 for £31,250 (lot 18).The version measuring 25 x 32cm was sold at Sotheby's, Chester, 6 November 1986 for £528 (lot 3192). Both of these versions are cropped compositionally as well as being of smaller dimensions than the present lot.For an external view of Rembrandt's father's mill see 'The Mill on the Old Rhine near Leiden', J. Munday, E.W.Cooke..., p.107, 38/19, illus. pl. 53.The present lot is rare example of a Dutch interior from Cooke, him being mostly pre-occupied with maritime subjects. The fact that this mill was in Rembrandt's family was obviously of great interest to the artist. This is demonstrated by his returning to the subject repeatedly and also a note detailing the link of the mill to the van Rhijn family via Rembrandt's father which Cooke wrote and attached to the back of one of the pictures he exhibited at the British Institute. It was acquired by William Wells who kept an open house for artists in Redleaf, where Cooke stayed frequently.The well worn steps, the objects hanging on the walls, the old hook holding up the sack for the flour to find at the bottom of the wooden ramp, well polished by use, all of these details combine to create a vivid portrait of a place of work. The building seems to have seen better days but still functions and does so with great character, all of which is captured by Cooke who relishes these details as well as the overall composition which draws the eye through the room, past the shutter hanging off its hinge and out to the river beyond. The rich and varied ochres, siennas and umbers that form the palette are a tribute to Rembrandt whilst maintaining the unmistakable economy and strong draughtsmanship of Cooke.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ezekiel was one of the four so-called 'greater prophets' of the Old Testament, the others being Isaiah, Jeremiah and Daniel. He was among the Hebrews exiled in 579 BC to Babylon, where, beside the river Kebar, he experienced a number of apocalyptic visions. In Chapter 37 of his book he describes how, 'the hand of the Lord' being upon him, he is set down in a valley full of dry bones. He is commanded by God to prophesy and the bones come to life, assuming flesh and sinews until they represent 'an exceeding great army'. The passage was often seen as an Old Testament prefiguration of the general resurrection of the dead at the Last Judgement.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
