Lot 1655 | Otto Modersohn
(1865 Soest - 1943 Rotenburg)Badeszene an der Bredenau in FischerhudeSommerlich paradiesische Szene mit Badenden an der Wümme. Das für die mittlere Schaffensperiode charakteristische Werk entstand um 1920 in Fischerhude, wo Modersohn selbst 1908-1915 und wieder ab Mai 1917 mit seiner Familie lebte. Dort richtete er sich im Ortsteil Wilhelmshausen eine Atelierwohnung im Haus des Tischlers Freese ein, ganz in der Nähe des Nordarms der Wümme. Seit den Wintermonaten 1915/16 bis zum Herbst 1918 (und auch danach) entstanden kleinformatige Bilder auf Holztafeln, wie sie bei Tischlern als Abfallholz für wenig Geld zu bekommen sind. Modersohn setzte sich zu dieser Zeit intensiv mit der Kunst Paul Cézannes auseinander, der von prägendem Einfluss auf sein weiteres Oeuvre wurde. In diesem Bild setzte Modersohn seine Intention, der Natur und den Lichtstimmungen in verwobenen Farbflächen und Strichlagen einen Ausdruck zu verleihen, höchst überzeugend um. Tempera/Holztafel. Rechts unten signiert; 23,5 cm x 32 cm. Rahmen.Lt. freundlicher Information von Herrn Rainer Noeres, Otto Modersohn Museum, Fischerhude, handelt es sich vermutlich um das 1920 im Atelierbuch unter der Nr. 105 aufgeführte Bild mit dem Titel "Badescene Bredenau m. Pferden".Provenienz: Privatsammlung Niedersachsen.Tempera on panel. Signed.
