Paula Modersohn-Becker - - 1876 Dresden-Friedrichstadt - 1907 Worpswede Elsbeth mit Hühnern. 1902/03. Kohlezeichnung und Aquarell über Bleistift. Rechts unten sowie links unten mit den Nachlasssignaturen von Tille Modersohn 'f. P.M.B. / T. M.' und 'f. P.M.B. / T. Modersohn'. 22,7 x 31,8 cm (8,9 x 12,5 in), Blattgröße. [CH]. • Lückenlose Provenienz: aus dem Nachlass der Künstlerin. • Charakteristische kleine Skizze mit dem so unverkennbaren, ganz eigenen Stil der Künstlerin. • Spontan auf Papier gebannte Beobachtung des ländlichen Alltags in Worpswede. • Motivische Ähnlichkeiten mit Gemälden wie 'Kinder und Hühner vor Landschaft' (um 1902, Busch/Werner 295) und 'Elsbeth mit Hühnern unter Apfelbaum' (um 1902, Busch/Werner 296). PROVENIENZ: Aus dem Nachlass der Künstlerin (1876-1907). Sammlung Mathilde 'Tille' Modersohn (1907-1998, die Tochter der Künstlerin), Bremen. Galerie Wolfgang Werner, Bremen/Berlin (aus dem Nachlass der Vorgenannten erworben). Sammlung Deutsche Bank (2000 vom Vorgenannten erworben). LITERATUR: Deutsche Bank AG (Hrsg.), Man in the Middle. Sammlung Deutsche Bank, Frankfurt am Main 2002, S. 183 (mit Farbabb.). 'Dieses nicht Fertigdrehen, das besitzen die Franzosen in hohem Maße. [..] Wir Deutschen malen immer pflichtgetreu unser Bild herunter und sind zu schwerfällig, aus dem Stegreif eine kleine Farbenskizze zu machen, die oft mehr sagt als das Bild.' Paula Modersohn-Becker, zit. nach: Ausst.-Kat. Paula Modersohn-Becker. Aufbruch in die Moderne, Buchheim Museum, Bernried 2019/2020, S. 66. Bereits 1897 lernt Paula Becker bei einem ersten kurzen Besuch die Künstlerkolonie Worpswede nahe Bremen kennen und entschließt sich schon wenige Monate später, ganz in das kleine Dorf inmitten des Teufelsmoors überzusiedeln. Die hiesige Natur, die hier lebenden, einfachen Menschen und das künstlerische Milieu um die ansässigen Künstler Heinrich Vogeler, Rainer Maria Rilke, Fritz Overbeck, Otto Modersohn und Fritz Mackensen, bei dem sie ab 1898 Zeichen- und Malunterricht nimmt, haben während ihres kurzen Lebens einen immensen Einfluss auf sie und nicht zuletzt auf ihr künstlerisches Schaffen. Nach einem sehr anregenden, mehrmonatigen Aufenthalt in Paris mit intensiven Weiterbildungen an renommierten privaten Akademien heiratet sie nach ihrer Rückkehr nach Worpswede 1901 den einige Jahre älteren, bereits verwitweten Künstler Otto Modersohn, der seine kleine Tochter Elsbeth mit in die Ehe bringt. Elsbeth findet sich in zahlreichen Zeichnungen und Gemälden Modersohn-Beckers wieder und auch die hier angebotene, feine aquarellierte Skizze zeigt Elsbeth mit geflochtenen Haaren in blauem Kleidchen, mit erhobenem Arm und im Begriff, die geschickt mit nur einigen wenigen Pinselstrichen angedeuteten Hühner im Zaum zu halten. Das Kleid mit weißem Saum an den Ärmeln und dem horizontalen Streifen am unteren Rand ähnelt Elsbeths Kleid auf einer Fotografie aus dem selben Jahr (siehe Abb.). Die Künstlerin setzt sich in diesen Jahren sehr intensiv mit ihrer Malerei und Überlegungen zu Farbigkeit und Bildaufbau auseinander. In ihrem Tagebuch notiert sie im Oktober 1902, dem Entstehungsjahr der hier angebotenen Arbeit: 'Ich glaube, man müsste beim Bildermalen gar nicht so an die Natur denken, wenigstens nicht bei der Konzeption des Bildes'. Die ersten Skizzen sollen nach Ansicht der Künstlerin zwar den Eindruck von der Natur einfangen, dann aber mit der persönlichen Empfindung verknüpft werden. Letztendlich solle sich jedoch ein Rückbezug auf die Natur ergeben: 'dann muß ich von der Natur das hineinbringen, wodurch mein Bild natürlich wirkt' (jeweils zit. nach: Ausst.-Kat. Paula Modersohn-Becker. Der Weg in die Moderne, Bucerius Kunst Forum, Hamburg 2017, S. 24f.). In ihrem kurzen Leben mit gerade einmal zehn Schaffensjahren gelingt es Modersohn-Becker mit diesem künstlerischen Paradoxon aus natürlich wirkender Konzeption der Natur in Einbeziehung der persönlichen Empfindungen eine ganz eigene, unverwechselbare Formensprache innerhalb der Kunstgeschichte des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts zu entwickeln. [CH] Aufrufzeit: 18.06.2021 - ca. 13.06 h +/- 20 Min.

Alexander Weynton (British, 1827-c1860). A set of six watercolours of ships by master mariner and watercolourist Alexander Weynton. who whilst serving as Second Mate on the Windsor circa 1850 began a series of journals recording his voyages, including nine to Australia, illustrated with his delightful watercolours. Each watercolour is signed and with notes either written on to the margins or is painted on the back of a page of the ship's log. The East India Ship Windsor is painted on the title page of the ships log book of a voyage from London to Madras and Calcutta 1850-1852, 'The East India Ship Windsor, WB Bryce Commander 1850, on the voyage from London, to Madras and Calcutta, Feb 1850 inscribed verso by Alexander Weynton, 2nd mate 'for his own amusement'.One of the watercolours depicts a ship sailing against a dark sky has a page of script verso dated 1850, recording details from 4 days voyaging in May of that year.See images for detailed front and back of watercolours and ship's logs. See The National Library of Australia online who hold a small collection some of similar works which were shown in their exhibition Travellers Art (2003). https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-234455886/Each watercolour approx. 15cm x 24cm, stuck on ships log or with notes to margins (6) FURTHER BACKGROUND INFORMATION These are thought to be missing pages with water-colours from the 1850-52 ships log of master mariner Alexander Weynton an early figure in Australian history which have been discovered on the back of pages from the log. when Ewbank's were removing them from their frames to check their condition the pages from the log were discovered, along with marginalia on the mounts. Alexander Weynton (British, 1827-c.1861) served as Second Mate on theWindsor during a voyage to Madras and Calcutta from England and thence to Australia, completing a series of journals recording the voyages from 1841-1860, including nine to Australia, all illustrated with his highly accomplished watercolours. Each watercolour is signed and with notes either written on to the margins or is painted on the back of a page of the ships log. Weynton succeeded to his first command in September 1858, by which time he had completed a total of 16 voyages, eight of them on the colonial run between London and Port Phillip (Victoria) or Sydney. While aboard theWindsoren route to Sydney, he began two journals, one for jotted observations of daily life on board ship, the other a retrospective record of his earlier voyages. The pages here appear to come from the first of these journals. Although his knowledge of the Australian colonies was not extensive, Weyntons contribution to Australian history is seen as significant because his watercolours provide some of the earliest known documents recording the coastline, buildings and other features of original settlements. His logs and paintings also record firsthand experiences of the migration process. The six views, including one of the entrance to Port Jackson in Sydney Harbour, with the ship in full sail, are of exceptional quality and also show the ship in perilous storm-tossed waters surrounded by sea birds, as well as becalmed under glowering skies with, in one view, a shark swimming just below the surface. Yet another shows the Windsor setting sail off Beachy Head. The lot also includes the frontispiece of the log book, giving details of the 1850-52 voyage under the command of W.B. Pryce Alexander, and the fact that as Second Mate, Weynton was keeping the log for his own amusement. The page is annotated in later ink: Alexander Fletcher Sargant with live from his sister Gertrude Sargant Dec 1941. The Sargants were a Surrey family hailing from Banstead. The Weynton archive is a fascinating and detailed source of social and historical importance not only to the early development of modern-day Australia, but also to our understanding of what life was like for those aboard ship in those pioneering sea-faring days of adventure and uncertainty as migrants crossed the continents in search of a new life. This amazing find fills an important gap in the extensive Weynton holdings of the National Library of Australia and adds to our appreciation of his talents as an artist and diarist. PROVENANCE These water-colours are consigned by a collector who acquired them from a local family in the course of his work in Surrey. This is one of two exceptional lots with links to Australian history that are in this sale, the other being lot 1370 a John Glover sketch book, Both featuring outstanding artistic talents and opening a window on modern Australias early days.
