Lot 1661 | Gretchen Wohlwill
(1878 Hamburg - 1962 ebenda)Doppelbild mit Segelschiffen in einer Werft und PorträtSpätimpressionistische, mit weich-pastosem Duktus gemalte Darstellung einer Werft mit zwei Schiffen auf dem Trockendock, im Vordergrund hohe Stapel von Planken und zwei Arbeiter; verso expressionistisches Porträt einer jungen Dame mit Federhut in einem Interieur. Wohl um 1910-1920 entstandenes, frühes Hauptwerk der Malerin, die als Gründungsmitglied der Hamburgischen Sezession ab 1919 zu den bedeutensten Künstlerpersönlichkeiten der Klassischen Moderne in Hamburg gehörte. Wohlwill war Schülerin von Ernst Eitner und Arthur Illies an der Kunstschule Valeska Röver in Hamburg und studierte 1909/10 bei Henri Matisse an der sogenannten Académie Matisse in Paris. Die französische Avantgarde beeinflusste seitdem ihr weiteres Oeuvre. 1912-1933 beteiligte sich Wohlwill an zahlreichen Hamburger Ausstellungen, 1932 bekam sie ihre erste Einzelausstellung im Kunstverein. Nicht nur wegen ihrer Kunst verfemt, sondern auch aufgrund ihres jüdischen Familienhintergrundes verfolgt, emigierte Wohlwill 1940 nach Portugal. Öl/Leinwand; Beiseitig rechts unten signiert; 83 cm x 69 cm. Rahmen.Double painting with vessels at the dockyard and portrait of a young lady. Oil on canvas. Signed on both sides.
