(1896 Darmstadt - 1943 Pirmasens)
Orgiastischer Tanz um das Goldene Kalb
Expressiv-realistische Darstellung einer vielfigurigen, freizügigen Szene mit einer dicht gedrängten Menge ekstatisch um das Goldene Kalb tanzender Männer- und Frauenakte, auf dem Kalb ein weiteres Paar, im Vordergrund eine Gruppe dunkelhäutiger Musiker. Seltenes Gemälde des Künstlers, der seit 1916 an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste in München studierte, zunächst in der Klasse von Peter Halm, ab 1919 als Meisterschüler bei Franz von Stuck. Letzterer dürfte ihn zu einer solch lasziv-erotischen Szene wie auf dem vorliegenden Gemälde aus dem Jahr 1926 inspiriert haben. Bock erreichte hierin zwar nicht die gesteigerte Urgewalt und Farbkraft von Emil Nolde in dessen Gemälde "Tanz um das Goldene Kalb" von 1910, doch sprengte er mit der provokant orgiastischen Darstellung nicht minder traditionelle Religions- und Kunstvorstellungen. Aktdarstellungen blieben auch danach ein Hauptsujet des Malers und Grafikers, 1927 zeigt Bock in der Ausstellung der "Münchener Neuen Secession" im Glaspalast in München das Gemälde "Weiblicher Akt im Sessel". Öl/Lwd.; R. o. sign. u. dat. (19)26) mit Ortsangabe München. Rest.; 75,5 cm x 60,5 cm. Rahmen.
Oil on canvas. Signed and dated (19)26 with location Munich. Restored.
