COLLIER À PENDELOQUES EN FORME DE GRIFFE DE TIGRE STYLISÉE EN OR REPOUSSÉJAVA, VIIIE-XE SIÈCLE40 cm (15 3/4 in.) longFootnotes:A REPOUSSÉ GOLD NECKLACE OF STYLIZED TIGER CLAWSJAVA, 8TH-10TH CENTURY爪哇 八至十世紀 金錘揲虎爪式項飾Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1980sThough leaf-like, the curved shapes are inspired by the tiger-claw pendants of South India.

STATUETTE DE KRODHA VAJRAPANI EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, XIVE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4818 21.3 cm (8 3/8 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF KRODHA VAJRAPANITIBET, 14TH CENTURY西藏 十四世紀 銅鎏金金剛手菩薩像Published:Arman Neven, Le Tantrisme dans l'art et la Pansee, Bruxelles, 1974, p. 76, no. 389. Exhibited:Le Tantrisme dans l'art et la Pansee, Palais des Beaux-Arts, Bruxelles, March - 10 April 1974. Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1974This rare figure depicts Krodha Vajrapani (lit. wrathful vajra bearer), who is distinguished from his numerous other forms by the combination of the vajra he brandishes above his head and the bell he rests against his hip, dampening its sonorous ring. Even scarcer among gilt bronzes of this subject is a windswept cloak clinging to this Krodha Vajrapani's immense frame, conveying the wrathful deity's astonishing agility and vigor as he crushes a pair of demons beneath his feet. Counter to his brutality, there is a jollity to Vajrapani's pudgy grimace and an apparent reluctance by the artist to depict him with a grotesque face, thereby producing a more endearing representation of Buddhism's primary protector, who uses his invincibility to help the religion's followers. The style of this work belongs to a long artistic tradition that traces back to Northeastern India around the 11th and 12th centuries and spreads to Nepal, Tibet, and China. To begin with, the sensuous curls of the lotus petals, and the lavishly beaded rim that decorates the edges of Vajrapani's lotus base, derive from sculptures of the Late Pala period (see von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, Vol. I, 2001, pp. 299 & 303, nos. 100B & 102B). These elements were continued to great effect by the Newars, an ethnic group from Nepal's Kathmandu Valley whose artistry was renowned for its sensitive modelling and benign visages. The Newars were highly sought-after for major artistic projects in Tibet and China during the Early Malla period (1200-1482), a time of prosperity that coincided with Tibetan rule between the Sakya order and the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368). It was within this political climate around the 14th century that the present work was made, likely by a Newari artist for a Tibetan donor or monastery, based on the presence of a consecration plate underneath the base. See a 14th-century image of Panjaranata Mahakala from the Claude de Marteau Collection, Part 2, sold at Bonhams, Paris, 4 October 2022, lot 9, that draws many close parallels to the present work. Such parallels include Vajrapani's rotund physique based on proportions favored by Newaris and the lack of inset stones to emphasize his rich gilding instead. These types of images later gave rise to the art of the early Ming dynasty, whose rulers strived to model themselves as the spiritual successors to the Mongol rulers of the Yuan in their continuing sponsorship of monasteries and artists. See a Yongle image of Hayagriva with hooped jewelry, dwarfish features, and rotund dimensions like the following work, published in von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, Vol. II, 2001, p. 1261, nos. 348C-D. Lastly, compare an image of Legden Mahakala who sports a similar cloud-collared robe in the Rubin Museum of Art, New York (C2003.10.3; HAR 65208).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ca. 8000-6000 BC. A rare artifact of the European Mesolithic era - a horn axe. This stunning piece showcases a flared butt and tapering profile. It is adorned with a single, drilled hole that allowed for attachment to a handle, making it a versatile tool for the early inhabitants of Europe. During the Mesolithic era, these horn axes were vital tools for hunting, woodworking, and other daily tasks. They were used for chopping, splitting, and shaping wood, as well as for skinning and butchering game. The flared butt of the horn axe provided a secure grip for the user, while the tapering profile allowed for precise cuts and maneuvers. The hole in the axe head allowed for the attachment of a handle, which provided additional leverage and control.Size: L:185mm / W:100mm ; 240gProvenance: Property of a European collector, ex.

New Kingdom, ca. 1550-1070 BC. An alabaster vessel, an exquisite work of art skillfully crafted from a rare and prized stone adorned with stunning veins that seem to come alive with light and shadow. This cylindrical vessel, gently flaring to its circular and flat base, boasts a wide mouth with an everted rim that adds an element of grace and refinement to its simple yet elegant form. In ancient Egypt, alabaster was regarded as a stone of great beauty and importance, known for its translucence and luminosity. This versatile material was widely used in the creation of a range of objects, from ornamental items to practical vessels used for various functions. The shape and form of this particular vessel suggest that it may have been used for holding precious oils, perfumes, or unguents, prized substances that were used in religious ceremonies, funerary rites, and everyday life. Its cylindrical shape would have allowed for easy pouring and application, while its wide mouth and everted rim would have allowed for easy access and minimised spillage.Size: L:60mm / W:70mm ; 155gProvenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.

Lot 610

Ca. 300 - 400 AD. A gold ring composed of a thin hoop with pairs of spheres to the bezel, boasting an intaglio that depicts the god Mars seated on the back of a majestic eagle. In Roman mythology, Mars was the god of war and one of the most important deities in the pantheon. He was the son of Jupiter and Juno and was often depicted as a warrior with a spear and shield. His association with the eagle, a powerful and noble bird, was likely inspired by the Roman army's use of eagles as emblems of their legions. Roman intaglios depicting gods and goddesses were popular adornments for rings, often worn as symbols of protection and guidance. These intaglios served not only as decorative pieces but also as powerful amulets that could bring the wearer good fortune and protection from harm. The intricate designs and rare subjects of these intaglios make them highly sought after by collectors and historians alike, offering a glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Roman mythology and belief systems.Size: D: 17.53mm / US: 7 / UK: O; 3.64gProvenance: Private London collection, UK art market before 2000.

Max Liebermann 1847 Berlin - 1935 Berlin Gartenlokal am Wannsee - Schwedischer Pavillon. Um 1925. Öl auf Leinwand. Links unten signiert. 54,5 x 75 cm (21,4 x 29,5 in). [KT]. • Gemälde der 1920er Jahre gehören zu Liebermanns begehrtesten Werken auf dem internationalen Kunstmarkt. • 1910 bezieht Liebermann seine repräsentative Villa mit Atelier am Wannsee und verbringt dort die Sommermonate. • Das mondäne Seerestaurant 'Schwedenpavillon', wenige Minuten von der Villa entfernt, war Treffpunkt der eleganten Gesellschaft. • Seltene charakteristische und unverkennbare Darstellung dieses speziellen Gastgartens. • Emblematisches Motiv des Impressionismus, als dessen bedeutendster deutscher Vertreter Liebermann gilt. • Erstmals auf dem internationalen Auktionsmarkt angeboten (Quelle: artprice.com). Wir danken Frau Drs. Margreet Nouwen, Berlin, die das Werk im Original begutachtet hat, für die freundliche Auskunft. Das Werk wird in den Nachtrag des Werkverzeichnisses der Gemälde aufgenommen. PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Bayern (seit zwei Generationen in Familienbesitz). Der sogenannte Schwedische Pavillon am Wannsee mit seiner von kleinen, getrimmten Buchsbäumchen und Laubgirlanden zum Wasser hin gesäumten Terrasse ist in den 1920er Jahren ein beliebtes mondänes Ausflugslokal der Berliner Sommerfrischler. Das ursprüngliche, namensgebende und von der Wiener Weltausstellung 1873 angekaufte Holzgebäude war 1909/10 zu einem großen Gebäude im englischen Landhausstil erweitert worden. In diesen Jahren verlegt auch Max Liebermann seinen Sommerwohnsitz auf sein Seegrundstück mit Villa am Wannsee, wenige Minuten auf der Großen Seestraße vom Schwedischen Pavillon entfernt. Motive seines mit Alfred Lichtwark zusammen gestalteten Gartens oder der sonntäglichen Spaziergänger auf der Großen Seestraße sowie die dort gelegenen Gartenlokale nehmen von da an einen bedeutenden Platz in seinem impressionistischen Repertoire ein. Mit den Berliner Querelen um die Secession und schließlich dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs zieht sich Liebermann mehr und mehr in sein dortiges Refugium zurück, wo ein Großteil seiner gelösten und mit lockerer Hand und lichtvoller Palette festgehaltenen Gemälde sommerlicher Leichtigkeit entsteht. Seit den Anfängen seiner künstlerischen Laufbahn beschäftigt Liebermann die Darstellung mehrfiguriger Gruppen im Bild, ihre Anordnung im Raum sowie die Verteilung von Licht, Farbe und Bewegung, was immer wieder neue Herausforderungen liefert: 'ich wollte auf 2 Stühlen sitzen und sowohl die Bewegung als auch die Farbe im Bild wiedergeben' (zit. nach: Eberle, Bd. II, München 1996, S. 796). Berühmte Vorbilder wie Edouard Manets 'Tuileriengarten' von 1862 oder August Renoirs 'Tanz im Moulin de la Galette' von 1876 etablieren das für den Impressionismus ikonisch gewordene Motiv. Liebermann greift diese Tradition in seinem 'Münchner Biergarten' (1884, Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen Neue Pinakothek, München) auf, zu einem Höhepunkt an malerischer Freiheit gelangt das Sujet vor allem in den 1920er Jahren, in denen Liebermann die Szenerie in Farbe, Licht und Bewegung auflöst. Im Hintergrund der Blick auf die weißen Segelboote und den Ausflugsdampfer, ein herbeieilender Kellner im Frack wie auch das aufbrechende Paar mit Tochter im weißen Kleidchen formulieren den Inbegriff sorgloser Harmonie. Anlässlich seines 80. Geburtstags im Jahr 1927 richtet ihm die Preußische Akademie der Künste ein Ehrenbankett mit 120 Teilnehmern aus dem In- und Ausland aus. Die Wahl fällt dafür auf den Schwedischen Pavillon, der etwas vorgezogen schon am 30. Juni im Rahmen der Liebermann-Jubiläumsausstellung zum festlichen Ort wird, zu dem der unprätentiöse Liebermann einfach von seiner Villa herüberspazieren kann.

Lower left signed. 54.5 x 75 cm (21.4 x 29.5 in). [KT]. • Paintings from the 1920s are among Liebermann's most sought-after works on the international art market. • In 1910, Liebermann moved into his villa with a studio on Wannsee, where he used to spend the summer months. • The glamorous lakeside restaurant 'Schwedenpavillon', a few minutes from the villa, was a meeting place of the high society. • Rare characteristic and unmistakable depiction of this special garden restaurant. • Emblematic motif of Impressionism, of which Liebermann is considered the most important German representative. • Offered on the international auction market for the first time (source: artprice.com)). We are grateful to Drs. Margreet Nouwen, Berlin, who inspected the work's physical condition, for her kind support in cataloging this lot. The work will be included into the addenda of the catalogue raisonné of paintings. PROVENANCE: Private collection Bavaria (family-owned for two generations). In the 1920s, the so-called ‘Swedish Pavilion’ on Wannsee, with its seaside terrace bordered by small, trimmed box trees and garlands of leaves, was a popular day-trip destination for Berliners escaping the city in summer. The original eponymous wooden building was purchased from the 1873 Vienna World's Fair, and was expanded to become a large building in the style of an English country house in 1909/10. During these years, Max Liebermann also moved his summer residence to his lakeside property with a villa on Wannsee, just a few minutes walk from the Swedish Pavilion on Grosse Seestrasse. From then on, motifs from his garden, which he had planned together with Alfred Lichtwark, or the Sunday strollers on Große Seestraße, as well as scenes the from the garden cafes gained in importance in his impressionist repertoire. With the arising troubles in the Berlin Secession and eventually the outbreak of World War One, Liebermann increasingly retreated to this refuge, where a large part of paintings characterized by a light-filled palette were made in a summery ambiance. Since the beginning of his artistic career, Liebermann had been concerned with the challenging depiction of multi-figure groups, their arrangement in the pictorial space and the distribution of light, color and movement: 'I wanted to have my cake and it too by trying to take account of both movement and colors in the picture' (quoted from: Eberle, Vol. II, Munich 1996, p. 796). Famous models such as Edouard Manet's 'Tuileries Garden' from 1862 or August Renoir's 'Dance at Le moulin de la Galette' from 1876 establish a motif that would become iconic of Impressionism. Liebermann revisited this tradition in his 'Münchner Biergarten” (Munich Beer Garden, 1884, Neue Pinakothek, Munich), in the 1920s, when Liebermann dissolved the scenery in color, light and movement, the subject reached a peak of painterly freedom. The staffage with the white sailing boats and the steamer, a waiter in tails and the leaving couple with their daughter in a white dress embody the epitome of a carefree harmony. On the occasion of his 80th birthday in 1927, the Prussian Academy of Arts organized an honorary banquet with 120 guests from Germany and abroad at the Swedish Pavilion, an event to which the unpretentious Liebermann could simply walk over from his villa.

AUSSTELLUNG: August Macke-Aquarelle, Städtisches Kunsthaus, Bielefeld, Juni/Juli 1957, Kat.-Nr. 61. Deutsche Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts, Augustiner Museum, Freiburg i. Breisgau, 1962, Kat.-Nr. 74. Meisterhaft gelingt es August Macke im vorliegenden Aquarell, die Atmosphäre eines sonnigen Nachmittages einzufangen. In einer aus dem Leben gegriffenen Momenthaftigkeit zeigt er eine mit Kind spazierende Mutter, während ein wachsamer Hund im Vordergrund sich unmittelbar für einen Sprung bereit macht und zeitgleich ein Bauernwagen aus dem Hintergrund gemächlich heranrollt. Einer der bekanntesten deutschen Maler des Expressionismus wird 1887 im sauerländischen Meschede geboren. August Macke verlässt gegen den Willen des Vaters 1904 die Schule und beginnt eine Ausbildung an der Königlichen Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. Parallel belegt er ab 1905 Kurse an der Düsseldorfer Kunstgewerbeschule und verlässt im November 1906 die Akademie schon vorzeitig. Auf einer Reise in die französische Hauptstadt kommt Macke 1907 mit der à la Savoir-vivre flanierenden Pariser Bevölkerung in Kontakt. Er studiert hier in den Straßen und Parks, beschäftigt sich mit den verschiedenen Zentren einer Komposition und der flächigen Erfassung räumlicher Tiefengestaltung. Die sichtbaren Pinselstriche ordnen sich reduzierten Flächenformen unter und so reifen seine Darstellungen zu flüchtigen Schauspielen für das Auge. In Paris trifft Macke auch auf die Malerei des Impressionismus, welche ihn nicht nur fasziniert, sondern ebenso nachhaltig beeinflusst. Doch besonders die Malerei von Henri Matisse und der 'Fauves' bestärkt Macke in seinem Streben, die Formen und Farben überschaulich zu halten und so für das Auge eine eigene, bildliche Realität zu schaffen. Das vorliegende Aquarell ist ein schönes Beispiel, in dem sich die von Macke fein ausgearbeiteten Prinzipien wundervoll zusammenfügen. Nur zwei Jahre später, im Jahr 1909, lernt Macke am Tegernsee Franz Marc kennen, mit dem ihn eine fruchtbare Künstlerfreundschaft verbinden wird. Im Jahr 1911 tritt Macke der Münchener Künstlergruppierung 'Der Blaue Reiter' bei und im gleichen Jahr entsteht auch das Aquarell 'Sonnige Straße mit Hund'. Gekonnt verbindet Macke erlernte Farb- und Konstruktionsprinzipien zu einer bewegten Szenerie. Fast schon geheimnisvoll eröffnet Macke hier eine Welt, in der sich sogleich in den Köpfen der Betrachtenden eine eigene Geschichte zu entwickeln beginnt und der Moment des sonnigen Nachmittages greifbar wird. Viel zu früh fällt der nur 27-jährige August Macke 1914 an der Westfront in Frankreich und sein vielseitiges Œuvre beschränkt sich auf nur zehn Jahre, doch was bleibt sind seine atmosphärischen Inszenierungen, in denen sich Form und Farbe beeindruckend zusammenfügen.

August Macke succeeded in capturing the atmosphere of a sunny afternoon in the present watercolor with great mastery. In a scene taken from real life, he shows a mother walking with her child, while a watchful dog in the foreground gets ready to jump and a farm wagon slowly rolls up in the background. One of the best-known German expressionist painters was born in Meschede in the Sauerland in 1887. August Macke left school against his father's will in 1904 and began training at the Royal Art Academy in Düsseldorf and simultaneously took classes at the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts, however, he left the academy early in November 1906. On a trip to the French capital in 1907, Macke came into contact with the Parisian savoir-vivre. He studied people idly strolling streets and parks and was occupied with the different centers of a composition and the two-dimensional account of spatial depth. The visible brushstrokes are subordinate to reduced surface forms, making his depictions mature visual spectacles. In Paris, Macke also encountered impressionist painting, which fascinated him so much that it had a lasting impact. Especially the paintings of Henri Matisse and the 'Fauves' encouraged Macke to pursue his endeavor to create a visual reality of its own. The present watercolor is a beautiful example in which Macke's principles come together in a most beautiful way. Just two years later, in 1909, Macke met Franz Marc, with whom he developed a fruitful artistic friendship. In 1911 Macke joined the Munich artist group 'Der Blaue Reiter' and in the same year he created the watercolor 'Sonnige Straße mit Hund” (Sunny Street with Dog). Macke skillfully combined the principles of color and construction that he had learned to create a moving scenery. Almost mysteriously, Macke opens up a world in which a story of its own begins to develop in the mind of the viewer and the moment of the sunny afternoon becomes tangible. The only 27-year-old August Macke died much too early on the western front in France in 1914 and his oeuvre is limited to just ten years, but what remains is a legacy in which form and color exist in perfect harmony.

Main, und dem Lenbachhaus München. • Zuletzt waren Arbeiten Scharls in der Ausstellung 'Kunst und Leben 1918 bis 1955' (15.10.2022-16.4.2023) im Lenbachhaus München u. a. neben Werken von George Grosz, Karl Hubbuch, Karl Hofer und Christian Schad zu sehen. PROVENIENZ: Familie des Künstlers. Galerie Nierendorf, Berlin (um 1971 von Vorgenannter in Kommission genommen, verso mit der Inventar-Nr.). Privatsammlung (um 1999). Galerie Levy, Hamburg. Privatsammlung Norddeutschland (vom Vorgenannten erworben). AUSSTELLUNG: Josef Scharl, Pavillon im Alten Botanischen Garten, München, 3.-25.1.1953. Josef Scharl zum 75. Gedächtnisausstellung, 1.11.1971-12.1.1972, Kat.-Nr. 9 (m. Abb. S. 8). Scharl ist ein Menschenmaler, dessen besondere malerische Qualität sich zum einen in seinen starken Charakterporträts entlädt, die einfache Arbeiter und Soldaten in ihrer vom Leben oder vom Tod geschundenen Körperlichkeit mit ungeschönter Direktheit zeigen. Zum anderen aber zeigt sich diese malerische Meisterschaft in seinen wunderbaren mehrfigurigen Gesellschaftsgemälden der Goldenen Zwanziger. Diese Abendgesellschaften, die häufig wohlhabende Männer im Frack zeigen, wirken wie ein glanzvoller, fast dekadenter Gegenpol zu den geschundenen Physiognomien, die uns in seinen Arbeitergemälden gegenübertreten. Im typischen Stil der 1920er Jahre hat Scharl in 'Zwei Herren im Frack' zwei männliche Charaktere der Weimarer Republik in seinem typischen bewegten, von van Gogh inspirierten Pinselstrich auf die Leinwand gesetzt. Scharls sezierende Gesellschaftsbilder dieser Jahre wie das vorliegende Gemälde 'Zwei Herren im Frack' oder 'Blinder Bettler im Café' (1927, Kunsthalle Emden), 'Drei Korporierte (Larven)' (1925, Lenbachhaus München) gehören zu dem Besten, was Scharls malerisches Werk zu bieten hat. Einzigartig ist Scharls klar-bewegter Stil dieser Jahre, der Elemente des Expressionismus und der Neuen Sachlichkeit zusammenführt. Und so überrascht es nicht weiter, dass das vier Herren im Frack zeigende Gemälde 'Konferenz/Die Gruppe' (1927) und die Gesellschaftsstudie 'Der Abend' (1925) auf dem internationalen Auktionsmarkt als die beiden aktuellen Höchstzuschläge des Künstlers verzeichnet sind. In den 1920er Jahren ist Scharl auf dem Höhepunkt seines Schaffens, er schließt sich der Künstlervereinigung 'Neue Münchner Sezession' und den 'Juryfreien' an und beteiligt sich erfolgreich an deren Ausstellungen. Mit der beginnenden nationalsozialistischen Kulturpolitik kommt es in den 1930er Jahren bereits zu einer entscheidenden Wende: Verkäufe und Ausstellungsbeteiligungen nehmen ab, die finanzielle Lage Scharls spitzt sich zu und ihm wird ein Malverbot auferlegt. Trotzdem ermöglicht ihm Karl Nierendorf 1935 noch eine Einzelausstellung. Eine Einladung des Museums of Modern Art in New York, gemeinsam mit Beckmann, Scholz, Heckel und Hofer an einer internationalen Ausstellung teilzunehmen, bestärkt Scharls Auswanderungspläne und er emigriert schließlich 1939 nach Amerika.

Firmenich/Lukas 93. Signed and dated in upper right. 75 x 60 cm (29.5 x 23.6 in). [JS]. • Scharl's pictures, in which he anatomized society in the Roaring Twenties, are the cream of the crop of his creation. • Multi-figure works from this creative period are very rare and count among his most sought-after ones on the international auction market. • Paintings from his early creative period are in many important collections like the Nationalgalerie, Berlin, the Städel Museum, Frankfurt a.M. and the Lenbachhaus in Munich. • Recently, Scharl's works were shown alongside works by Georg Grosz, Karl Hubbuch, Karl Hofer und Christian Schad, in the exhibition 'Kunst und Leben 1918 bis 1955' (October 15, 2022 - April 16, 2023) at the Lenbachhaus in Munich. PROVENANCE: Galerie Nierendorf, Berlin. Private collection (around 1999). Galerie Levy, Hamburg. Private collection Northern Germany (acquired from the above). EXHIBITION: Josef Scharl, Pavillion im Alten Botanischen Garten, Munich, January 3 - 25, 1953. Josef Scharl. Gedächtnisausstelling, Galerie Nierendorf, Berlin, April 20 - June 16, 1964. Josef Scharl. 3. Gedächtnisausstellung, November 1, 1971 - January 12, 1972, cat. no.9 (with illu. p. 8). Scharl is a painter of people whose special painterly quality becomes particularly obvious in his strong character portraits, which show simple workers and soldiers in a physicality battered by life or death and with unembellished immediacy. On the other hand, however, his painterly mastery also becomes evident in his wonderful multi-figure society paintings of the Golden Twenties. These evening parties, which often show wealthy men in tails, act like a glamorous, almost decadent antithesis to the battered physiognomies that confront us in his worker paintings. In the typical style of the 1920s, Scharl has rendered the two male characters from the Weimar Republic on the canvas in 'Zwei Herren im Frack' (Two Gentlemen in Tails) with a typical brushstroke inspired by Van Gogh. Scharl's dissecting society pictures of these years, such as the present painting or ''Blinder Bettler im Café' (Blind Beggar in the Café, 1927, Kunsthalle Emden), 'Drei Korporierte (Larven) (Three Corporates (Grubs), 1925, Lenbachhaus Munich) are among the best that Scharl's painterly work has to offer. Scharl's clearly dynamic style of these years is unique, combining elements of Expressionism and New Objectivity. And so it is not surprising that the painting 'Konferenz/Die Gruppe' (Conference/The Group, 1927) with four gentlemen in tails, and the work 'Der Abend” (The Evening, 1925) are currently listed as the artist's two most expensive works on the international auction market. In the 1920s, Scharl was at the peak of his creativity, he joined the artists' association 'Neue Münchner Sezession' and the 'Juryfreie' and successfully took part in their exhibitions. With the beginning of the National Socialist’s cultural policy, he witnesses drastic changes in the 1930s: sales and exhibition participation decreased, Scharl's financial situation worsened and he was banned from painting. Nevertheless, in 1935, Karl Nierendorf helped him to a solo exhibition. An invitation to take part in an international exhibition together with Beckmann, Scholz, Heckel and Hofer, from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, encouraged Scharl to emigrate to America in 1939.
