Lot 1707 | Horst Janssen
(1929 Hamburg - 1995 ebenda)"Zu Phyllis". OriginaltitelSzenische Darstellung der thrakischen Königstochter aus der griechischen Mythologie als stehender Mädchenakt mit gefesselten, erhobenen Armen, flankiert von zwei phantasievollen, tierartigen Wesen. Schönes, mit kräftigen Strichen und leuchtender, teilw. transparenter Kolorierung ausgeführtes Blatt des Künstlers. Dieses bringt zugleich Janssens Bedeutung als einer der zweifellos besten und virtuosesten deutschen Zeichner des 20. Jahrhunders höchst anschaulich zum Ausdruck. Das Schicksal der Phyllis, die sich aus Sehnsucht nach ihrem Geliebten verzehrt und sich das Leben nimmt, faszinierte Janssen und regte ihn erstmals 1977/78 und 1984 zu Folgen dichter, expressiver, betont erotischer Darstellungen an. Im Mai/Juni 1984 stellte er in der Galerie Brockstedt in Hamburg 45 erotische Aquarelle zum Phyllis-Thema aus. Bleistift, Aquarell u. Gouache auf hellbraunem, collagiertem Papier. Links unten vom Künstler betitelt, bezeichnet und datiert mit Ortrsangabe "11(.) 3(.) (19)84 bei Brockstedt". 27,8 cm x 40,8 cm. Rahmen.Pencil, watercolour and gouache on paper-collage. Titled, inscribed and dated (19)84 with location Gallery Brockstedt in Hamburg.
