Lot 1957 | Otto von Wätjen
(1881 Düsseldorf - 1942 München) Sommernachtsfest Die expressiv-realistische Darstellung zeigt eine außergewöhnliche Szene, nämlich das offen lesbische Leben im Paris der 1920er Jahre während der freizügigen Zwischenkriegszeit: In einem baumbestandenen Park tanzen ausschließlich junge Frauen, teilw. vom Garçonne-Typ, miteinander. Wätjen ging 1905 nach Paris, wo er sich dem modernen Künstlerkreis im Café du Dôme anschloss. 1909-1912 beschickte er als Mitglied die Ausstellungen des "Sonderbundes". 1913 lernte er die französische Malerin Marie Laurencin kennen, die er 1914 in in Paris heiratete und die im Kreis um Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque und Gertrude Stein verkehrte. Seit 1919/20 stellte ihn Alfred Flechtheim regelmäßig in seiner Galerie in Düsseldorf aus. 1920 zeigte er mit Flechtheim in der "Ausstellung "Deutscher Expressionimus" in Darmstadt das Gemälde "Nacht (Granada)", das ein sich liebkosendes Frauenpaar darstellt, auch später schilderte Otto von Wätjen immer wieder mondäne weibliche Figuren, Paare und Gruppen. Öl/Lwd.; L. u. sign. u. dat. 1927. 66 cm x 80,5 cm. Rahmen. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated 1927.
