Lot 32 | Erich Heckel (1883 Döbeln - 1970 Radolfzell) (F)
Erich Heckel (1883 Döbeln - 1970 Radolfzell) (F)
'Gartenmauer', Radierung auf Papier, 22 cm x 17,5 cm Plattenmaß, 30,5 cm x 24,5 cm Passepartoutinnenmaß, signiert, 63 datiert, betitelt, aus einer Auflage von 31 Exemplaren, partiell leicht stockfleckig, Literatur: Wvz. Ebner/Gabelmann 1049 R.

Erich Heckel gilt als einer der Hauptvertreter des deutschen Expressionismus. Während des Architekturstudiums begann der Künstler unter dem Einfluss von Munch, van Gogh und den Fauves zu malen. Mit seinen Mitstudenten Karl Schmidt-Rottluff und Ernst Ludwig Kirchner gründete Heckel 1905 die Künstlergruppe "Die Brücke". Starke Formen und ebenso starke Farben bilden seine Werke zu dieser Zeit. Doch wurden sie mit zunehmend milder. Sein grafisches Werk, umfasst neben Holzschnitten auch Radierungen, wie die der "Gartenmauer". Auf der gedruckten Platte ist die Struktur der einzelnen Mauersteine zu erkennen, der Betrachter wurde also ganz nah herangenommen. Am linken Blattrand wird eine geöffnete Blüte gezeigt, die im Garten aus dem Boden sprießenden Pflanzen, sowie zwei kleine Figuren, die wie Spielzeugfigürchen auf die Mauer gesetzt wurden. Im Größenverhältnis scheint es geradezu an die Idee der Romantik angelehnt: Der kleine Mensch gegenüber der großen Pracht der Natur. Das Blatt kann aufgrund der Datierung (1963) in das Spätwerk des Künstlers eingeordnet werden und könnte durchaus im heimischen Garten beobachtet worden sein. Fast, wie durch die Augen eines Kindes, das selbst kaum größer als eine Gartenmauer ist und die Figuren auf der Mauer in eben heiterer, kindlicher Phantasie spielen lässt.




Erich Heckel (1883 Döbeln - 1970 Radolfzell) (F)
'Garden wall', etching on paper, 22 cm x 17,5 cm plate size, 30,5 cm x 24,5 cm mount inside, signed, 63 dated, titled, from an edition of 31 copies, partly a little bit stained, literature: Wvz. Ebner/Gabelmann 1049 R.

Erich Heckel is regarded as one of the main representatives of German Expressionism. During his studies of architecture the artist began to paint autodidactically under the influence of Munch, van Gogh and the Fauves. With his fellow students Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Heckel founded the artists' group ''Die Brücke'' in 1905. Strong forms and equally strong colours formed his works at this time. However, they became increasingly milder. His graphic work includes woodcuts as well as etchings, such as that of the ''Garden Wall''. The structure of the individual wall stones can be seen on the printed plate, so the viewer is brought very close. The left margin of the sheet shows an open flower, the plants sprouting from the ground in the garden, and two small figures placed on the wall like toy figurines. In terms of scale, it seems to be inspired by the idea of Romanticism: the small human being juxtaposed with the great splendour of nature. Based on the date (1963), the print can be classified as one of the artist's late works and could well have been observed in the garden at home. Almost as if through the eyes of a child, who himself is hardly taller than a garden wall and lets the figures on the wall play in just cheerful, childlike fantasy.
