Lot 1737 | Eugen Spiro
(1874 Breslau - 1972 New York) Bildnis einer eleganten Dame Halbfiguriges, mit weich-pastosem, impressionistischem Duktus gemaltes Porträt einer in einem Armlehnstuhl sitzenden Dame. Werk aus dem reifen Oeuvre des bedeutenden Porträtisten, der zahlreiche bedeutende und prominente Persönlichkeiten aus der Politik, Wissenschaft, Kunst-, Literatur- und Musikwelt sowie der gehobenen Gesellschaft malte. Nachdem Spiro während der Weimarer Republik hoch geschätzt und gefragt war, sah er sich als jüdischer Künstler 1935 zur Emigration gezwungen, zunächst nach Frankreich, 1941 nach New York. Ab den 50er Jahren wurde Spiro in Deutschland allmählich wiederentdeckt - 1954 erhielt er von Theodor Heuss einen Porträtauftrag, 1964 das Bundesverdienstkreuz, 1969 fand eine große Retrospektive in Berlin statt. Rechts unten signiert und datiert (19)60(?). 80,5 cm x 60 cm. Rahmen. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated (19)60(?).
