Johann Walter-Kurau
(1869 Mitau/Kurland - 1932 Berlin)
Damen- und Herrenbildnis
Das Bildnis der Frau, die von der Buchlektüre abgelenkt den Betrachter unverwandt ansieht, entstand 1919, kurz nach der Übersiedlung des Künstlers von Dresden nach Berlin. Aus der gleichen Zeit um 1920 datiert das unbezeichnete Männerbildnis. Beide lassen einerseits den Einfluß Cézannes und Liebermanns erkennen, zeigen aber zugleich die für Walter-Kurau typische Verschmelzung impressionistischer und expressionistischer Bildauffassungen. Die in Pastelltönen pastos gemalten, im Sinne des Künstlers ungefirnissten Bilder besitzen eine lebendige haptische Oberfläche. Walter-Kurau gilt als Mitbegründer der modernen lettischen Malerei. Er studierte an der Sankt Petersburger Kunstakademie und lernte 1906 in Paris den französischen Impressionismus kennen. Er verließ Russland und freundete sich in Dresden mit Otto Mueller an. 1917 ging er nach Berlin und schloss sich dem Kreis der Sezessionisten um Max Liebermann an. Öl/Karton. Eines r. u. sign. u. dat. (19)19. Ca. 26 cm x 20,5 cm. Rahmen.
Oil on cardboard. One of the two signed and dated.
