Lot 103 | Otto Modersohn (Soest 1865 - Fischerhude 1943). Heath near Fischerhude.
Around 1920. Oil/paper/cardboard. 50 x 67,5 cm. On the reverse confirmation of authenticity by Christian Modersohn with stamp of the Otto Modersohn museum Fischerhude as well as titled. The painting depicts a summerly heath landscape from Modersohns Fischerhude period. In a two-dimensional and dematerialised depiction of nature, making visible the strokes of the brush, he realised his artistic ideal of that time: 'Simplicity, simplification is the essence, not only in form, but still more in colour. The painting has to be a chord, a harmony. Within the chord richly nuanced.' The work impresses by the contrast of the carefully composed middle and back ground and the sketchy foreground that quasi allows the beholder to understand the artist’s creative process. - Worpswede painter, main exponent of the Worpswede artist colony. He studied since 1884 at the Düsseldorf academy, thereafter in Munich a. Karlsruhe. Accompanied by F. Mackensen he visited Worpswede for the first time in 1889. Shortly after H. am Ende, F. Overbeck a. H. Vogeler joined them a. the artist's colony emerged. An exhibition in the Bremen Kunsthalle brought supra-regional attention, an exhibtion in the Munich Glaspalast the same year was the international break-thorugh. To keep his personal a. artistical freedom M. left the Worpswede Künstlervereinigung as soon as 1899. After the death of his wife Paula Modersohn-Becker he moved to the nearby Fischerhude, since 1922 he also travelled regularly to the Allgäu. In 1940 he was awarded the Goethe medal, an important German prize. M. developed the immediateness, the feeling for nature and the sense for colour of the classic plein air painting in direction of a reduced concreteness which concentrates the form of nature to compact masses a. makes the colour communicate the mood. Mus.: Munich (Neue Pinakothek), Fischerhude, Bremen, Hannover, Oldenburg, Prag, Breslau, Danzig a. others. Lit.: Thieme-Becker, Vollmer, Bénézit a. others.
