Lot 1846 | Paul Kother
(1878 Leipzig - 1963 Weimar) Mutter mit Kind Expressionistisches, durch große, intensiv leuchtende Farbflächen und betonte Konturen bestimmtes Werk Kothers, der zu den wiederentdeckten Künstlern der sog. "verschollenen Generation" gehört. Prägend wirkten auf ihn die "Brücke"-Maler Max Pechstein und Erich Heckel sowie sein befreundeter Schwager Otto Mueller. 1912/13 hatte Kother erfolgreiche Einzel- und Gemeinschaftsausstellungen mit Pechstein und Max Beckmann. 1914 ging Kother nach Berlin - wo ihn Herwarth Walden 1916 zusammen mit Pechstein und Lyonel Feininger in seiner "Sturm"-Galerie zeigte. Ab 1918 reihen sich die Erfolge: 1919 beteiligte er sich mit der "Novembergruppe" an der Großen Berliner Kunstausstellung, 1921 widmete ihm die Galerie Moeller eine Einzelausstellung; 1922 erhielt Kother durch Max Liebermann den Ehrenpreis der Preußischen Akademie der Künste. Im "Dritten Reich" gehörte auch Kother zu den mit Austellungsverbot belegten Künstlern der Moderne. Öl/Leinwand; Links oben signiert; Verso unvollendete, weitere Mutter-Kind-Darstellung. 77 cm x 66 cm. Rahmen. Das Gemälde wird in das in Vorbereitung befindliche Wvz. unter der Nr. Ö8 aufgenommen.
