Lot 1963 | Elfriede Schnell
(1897 Landsberg/Ostpreußen - 1930 Königsberg) Junge Familie in Landschaft Expressionistische Darstellung der "Flucht nach Ägypten". Seltenes Gemälde Schnells, von der nur wenige Werke bekannt sind. Schnell studierte an der Akademie in Königsberg und lernte durch einen Paris-Aufenthalt in den 1920er Jahren die dortigen Kunstströmungen kennen, wodurch sie Einflüsse des deutschen Expressionismus und der französischen Moderne verband. Ende der 1920er Jahre hatte Schnell eine Einzelausstellung im Kunstsalon Franke in Königsberg; 1930 gehörte sie zum ausgesuchten Künstlerkreis einer von Paul Westheim arrangierten Ausstellung in Berlin (u. a. mit Werken von Schlemmer). Er rühmte die kurz zuvor verstorbene Künstlerin posthum: "Eine erstaunliche Begabung, erstaunlich in ihrer Eigenart, erstaunlich die visionäre Kraft ihrer Gesichter, erstaunlich die sichere Beherrschung der malerischen und tektonischen Ausdrucksmittel." (Zit. aus "Das Kunstblatt", 1930, S. 260). 1931 fand eine Gedächtsnis-Ausstellung in den Kunstsammlungen im Schloss Königsberg statt. Öl/Lwd.; R. u. Ligatur-Monogr.; 79 cm x 90,5 cm. Rahmen. Vgl.Thieme-Becker, Bd. XXX, S. 200; Paul Westheim: "Künstler im Reich (...)", in "Das Kunstblatt", 14. Jahrgang, Sept. 1930, S. 257-260 (mit Abb.). Oil on canvas. Monogrammed.
