Lot 86

Galician school of the 18th century."Saint Sebastian".Carved wood. With remains of polychromy.Measurements: 89 x 46 x 22 cm.In this work the saint is represented tied to the tree, although the arrows stuck in his body cannot be seen. Young and athletic in appearance, as is normal in the representation of Saint Sebastian, he is looking straight ahead, accepting his martyrdom with serenity and faith.Born in Gaul and raised in Milan, Sebastian was a centurion of the first cohort in the time of the emperor Diocletian (late 3rd - early 4th century). Denounced because he exhorted his friends Mark and Marcellinus to remain steadfast in their faith, by order of the emperor he was tied to a post in the centre of the Field of Mars, and served as a live target for the archers who shot him. But he did not die for it. The widow Irene, who wanted to raise his body for burial, noticed that he was still breathing, bandaged his wounds and saved his life. After he was cured, he reappeared before Diocletian to reproach him for his cruelty towards the Christians. He was then scourged, beaten to death in the circus and his corpse was thrown into the Maximian sewer. Shortly afterwards, Saint Sebastian appeared to Saint Lucila in her sleep to reveal to her the location of his remains, and asked her to bury him in the catacombs.

Die Künstlerpostkarten sind beredtes Zeitzeugnis und eröffnen uns sowohl Einblicke in die künstlerische Entwicklung der Künstler als auch in ihr gesellschaftliches Leben. So folgt auch Cuno Amiet der schönen Tradition, zum Jahreswechsel Grüße an Freunde und Bekannte zu verschicken. Damit fügt er sich ein in die Reihe namhafter Künstler, darunter alle der Künstlergruppe 'Brücke', die künstlerisch gestaltete Postkarten als ideales Kommunikationsmittel auch zu Förderern und Sammlern für sich nutzen. Sie dienen als Status quo der Arbeit der Künstler, sind perfektes Beispiel der Methode des spontanen Erfassens und einer unverfälschten unmittelbaren Wiedergabe. Die Postkarten werden zu einer Art von Visitenkarte und stehen für ein modernes, erfolgsorientiertes Netzwerken. Mit der in schnellen Strichen eingefangenen schweizerischen Winterlandschaft, in der zwei unbeschwerte Skifahrer ihre Schwünge ziehen, hält sich Cuno Amiet bei Prof. Dr. Heinrich Ganter, dem Präsident des Aargauischen Kunstvereins, in Erinnerung. Dieser bereits 1860 gegründete und bis heute bestehende Kunstverein gehört zu den ältesten und größten Kunstvereinen der Schweiz. Ziel des Vereins ist es, eine umfangreiche Sammlung neuerer schweizerischer Kunst aufzubauen.

The artist postcards are eloquent testimony to the times and provide us with insights into both the artist’s development and their social life. Thus, Cuno Amiet also follows the beautiful tradition of sending greetings to friends and acquaintances at the turn of the year. In doing so, he joins the ranks of renowned artists, including all of the 'Brücke' artists, who used artistically designed postcards as an ideal means of communication, also with patrons and collectors. They serve as a status quo of the artists' work, are perfect examples of the method of spontaneous capture and unadulterated immediate reproduction. The postcards become a kind of business card and stand for modern, success-oriented networking. Cuno Amiet made the Swiss winter landscape with two skiers captured in quick strokes for Prof. Dr. Heinrich Ganter, the president of the ‘Aargauischer Kunstverein’. This art association, founded as early as in 1860 and still in existence today, is one of the oldest and largest art associations in Switzerland. The aim of the association has always been to build up an extensive collection of contemporary Swiss art. Today, the Aargauer Kunsthaus owns several paintings from the period between 1905 and 1913, which was so important for Amiet's work [SM] Called up: December 10, 2022 - ca. 17.22 h +/- 20 min.

Privatsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (durch Erbschaft von Vorgenanntem). 'Die blühenden Farben der Blumen und die Reinheit dieser Farben, ich liebte sie. Ich liebte die Blumen in ihrem Schicksal: emporsprießend, blühend, leuchtend glühend, beglückend, sich neigend, verwelkend, verworfen in der Grube endend. Nicht immer ist unser Menschenschicksal ebenso folgerichtig und schön [..].' Emil Nolde, zit. nach: Martin Urban, Emil Nolde. Blumen und Tiere. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Köln 1965, S. 7–8. Die Grundlage für Emil Noldes Liebe zur Flora und Fauna ist in seiner Kindheit als Sohn eines norddeutschen Bauern zu finden. Schon früh geht er der Mutter im Garten zur Hand und seine ersten Malversuche zeigen Blumen und Gärten. Nach einer Lehre als Möbelzeichner und Holzschnitzer 1884–1888 in Flensburg zieht es ihn für eine Lehrstelle im gewerblichen Zeichnen nach St. Gallen. Die Schweizer Berglandschaft unterscheidet sich stark zum Flachland des deutsch-dänischen Grenzgebiets, doch die Naturverbundenheit Noldes bleibt in seinen hier entstehenden Landschaftsaquarellen und den Darstellungen der hiesigen Bauern unverkennbar. Trotz Ablehnung der Akademie steht sein Entschluss fest, sich als Maler zu etablieren, und er findet u. a. durch die private Malschule Adolf Hölzels in Dachau, den Besuch der Académie Julian im Paris der Jahrhundertwende sowie die Erlebnisse im Berliner Großstadtleben zu seinem eigenen Stil. Nach Sommeraufenthalten in Föhr gewinnt die Landschaft ab 1916 in seinem Å’uvre vermehrt an Bedeutung und insbesondere nachdem er 1927 das Gelände in Seebüll erwirbt und sich mit seiner Frau Ada dauerhaft im Nordfriesischen niederlässt, nehmen die Blumenstillleben einen besonderen Rang ein. Während er in seinen frühen Blumenbildern noch eine scheinbar unendliche Fülle an Blütenpracht in Öl auf Leinwand zu fassen versucht, erscheinen seine späteren Aquarelle als wahrhafte Zeugen der Natur. Meist arbeitet Nolde in seiner typischen Technik des Nass-in-Nass-Malens direkt inmitten seines eigens angelegten Gartens in Seebüll. Der Gestaltung dieses Gartens schenkt er besondere Aufmerksamkeit. Erste Entwürfe werden von Nolde verworfen, bis er aus den Initialen von ihm und seiner Frau, E und A, den Grundriss des neuen Gartens gestaltet, verbunden durch ein kleines Wasserspiel. Dies zeigt die tiefe Bedeutung des Gartens für den Künstler. Er wird zum Quell unerschöpflicher Inspiration. Eine ausgewogene und frohe Farbkomposition zeichnet auch das Tulpenarrangement aus. Strahlend und in einem virtuos komponierten Durcheinander recken sie ihre Köpfe in den sonnig-gelben Hintergrund und werfen ihre Schatten. Der spontane Eindruck eines Frühlingstages in Seebüll wird so auch für die Betrachtenden spür- und beinahe erlebbar. Die Liebe Noldes zur Natur findet hier ihren Ausdruck, sie sollte ihn sein ganzes Leben lang begleiten. [AW] Aufrufzeit: 10.12.2022 - ca. 19.04 h +/- 20 Min.

Emil Nolde, quoted from: Martin Urban, Emil Nolde. Blumen und Tiere. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Cologne 1965, pp. 7-8. The basis for Emil Nolde's love of flora and fauna can be found in his childhood as the son of a north German farmer. From early on he helped his mother in the garden and made first attempts at painting flowers and gardens. After an apprenticeship as a furniture draftsman and wood carver in Flensburg from 1884 to 1888, he moved to St. Gallen for an apprenticeship in industrial drawing. Although the Swiss mountain landscape differs greatly from the lowlands of the German-Danish border area, Nolde's closeness to nature remained unmistakable in his landscape watercolors and the depictions of local farmers. Despite rejection from the academy, he remained true to his decision to establish himself as a painter and attained his own style through Adolf Hölzel's private painting school in Dachau, the Académie Julien in Paris at the turn of the century and his experiences in Berlin's big city life. After spending several summers on the island of Föhr, the landscape became increasingly important in his oeuvre as of 1916, especially after he had acquired the plot in Seebüll in North Frisian in 1927, where he and his wife Ada would settle for good. Henceforth still lifes of flowers occupied a special rank. While he tried to capture a seemingly endless abundance of blossoms in oil on canvas in his early flower paintings, his later watercolors appear as true witnesses of nature. Most of the time he works were executed in his typical technique of wet-in-wet painting right in the middle of his own garden in Seebüll. The layout of his garden was particularly important to him, he rejected the first drafts and came up with the idea of creating the new garden from his wife’s and his initials, A and E, connected by a small water feature. This testifies to the deep meaning of the garden, especially as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The tulip arrangement is also characterized by a balanced and cheerful color composition. Radiant and in a virtuoso composed confusion, they stretch their heads into the sunny yellow background and cast their shadows. The spontaneous impression of a spring day in Seebüll can also be experienced by the viewer. Nolde's love of nature, which should accompany him throughout his life, finds expression in the present work. [AW] Called up: December 10, 2022 - ca. 19.04 h +/- 20 min.

Alexander Koester 1864 Bergneustadt - 1932 München Rosen auf Schleier. 1926–1930. Öl auf Leinwand. Stein/Koester 1026. Links unten signiert. Verso auf der Leinwand mit dem Nachlassstempel sowie nummeriert '428a'. Verso auf dem Keilrahmen verschiedentlich nummeriert und betitelt. 50 x 56,5 cm (19,6 x 22,2 in). PROVENIENZ: Nachlass des Künstlers. Privatsammlung Bayern. AUSSTELLUNG: Gedächtnisausstellung des Kunstmalers Alexander Koester, Ständige Ausstellung der Münchener Kunstgenossenschaft, München, 1933, Kat.-Nr. 8832. Dem größten Publikum wird Alexander Koester durch seine variationsreichen Darstellungen von Enten bekannt, mit denen er ab 1899 die Kunstausstellungen in Deutschland beschickt und die zu seinem größten Erfolgsmotiv werden. Dabei umfasst sein Schaffen ebenso alle weiteren malerischen Gattungen, von Porträt über Genre und Landschaft bis hin zum Stillleben. Seine im Farbmaterial schwelgende, breit und pastos angelegte Malweise kommt in diesen auf besondere Art zur Geltung. Sie birgt eine spezielle Faszination von Stofflichkeit, in der das Farbmaterial die dargestellten Blumen, Vasen, Tücher und Oberflächen gleichsam nachmodelliert. So entstehen lebendige, fast haptisch anmutende Oberflächen voller Glanz, Spiegelungen, Effekten, Lichtreflexen und Transparenzen, die das im Grunde impressionistische Prinzip von Koesters Malerei verdeutlichen: die wechselvollen Wirkungen des Lichts auf die Leinwand zu bringen und zu einem Seherlebnis werden zu lassen.

Private collection Bavaria. EXHIBITION: Gedächtnisausstellung des Kunstmalers Alexander Koester, Ständige Ausstellung der Münchener Kunstgenossenschaft, Munich, 1933, cat. no. 8832. Alexander Koester is best known for his varied portrayals of ducks. Showing these works at art exhibitions in Germany from 1899 onwards, they became his most successful motif. However, his oeuvre also spans all other painting disciplines, from portrait and genre to landscape and still life. It is in these works that his broad impasto style of painting, which positively luxuriates in the color medium, came into its own. His style holds a special allure of materiality in which the color medium virtually remodels the portrayed flowers, vases, cloths or surfaces. He thus created vivid, almost haptic surfaces full of sparkle, reflections, effects, light reflexes and transparencies that reveal the essentially Impressionistic principle underlying his painting style, namely to capture the changing effects of light on the canvas and turn them into a visual experience.
