Hiasl (Mathias) Maier-Erding
"Der Generalstab". 1915
Hiasl (Mathias) Maier-Erding
The General Staff. 1915
Signed and dated (19)15 upper right. Canvas letter from the artist to Count Arco-Zinneberg, dated 27.10.(19)15, mounted, verso. Oil auf canvas. 50 x 62 cm. Minor damage to frame (59.5 x 71 cm).

Der Titel "Generalstab" ist mit Ironie zu verstehen: Hier sind keine hochrangigen Militäroberen dargestellt, sondern einfache Rekruten in ihrer Unterkunft (laut Fritz Aigner ein Rekrutenbüro), von denen einer in Uniform auf einer militärischen Karte den beiden anderen das militärische Ziel aufzeigt. Allerdings scheinen die beiden anderen Soldaten nicht unbedingt an den Plänen des Mittleren interessiert zu sein, so stützt sich der linke Soldat auf sein Akkordeon und raucht, während der rechte Soldat gerade Bier auf den Tisch mit der Karte verschüttet hat. Das Gemälde ist daher wohl eher ein Kommentar Maier-Erdings auf selbst erlebte Ereignisse aus dem 1. Weltkrieg.
