Lot 1852 | Rudolf Schlichter
(1890 Calw - 1955 München) "Begierde", auch betitelt "Bordell" oder "Bordellszene" Die in der ersten Hälfte der 1920er Jahre entstandene Darstellung eines älteren Voyeurs mit Monokel und einer schlafenden Prostituierten, die sich einem jungen Mann mit überdimensionalem, errigierten Penis hingeben muss, gehört zu den explizit pornographischen Zeichnungen im Oeuvre Schlichters. Anzunehmen ist, dass Schlichter aus eigenen Beobachtungen und Erfahrungen schöpfen konnte: Bereits vor dem I. Weltkrieg (und wieder ab circa 1922) lebte der Masochist und Schuhfetischist Schlichter mit Prostituierten zusammen und schuf unter dem Pseudonym "Udor Rétyl" pornographische Grafiken. 1919 ging Schlichter nach Berlin, wo er sich der Novembergruppe, den Dadaisten und der KPD anschloss. Dort gehörte er zum Künstlerkreis von George Grosz, Wieland Herzfelde und John Heartfield, mit denen er 1924 die "Rote Gruppe" gründete. Zu Schlichters Freunden zählten überdies Bertolt Brecht, Alfred Döblin und Carl Zuckmayer. 1925 gehörten Werke Schlichters zur namensgebenden Ausstellung "Neue Sachlichkeit" in Mannheim. Bleistift/Papier. Rechts unten signiert; 28 cm x 38 cm (Passepartoutausschnitt). Rahmen. Beigefügt: Expertise von Frau Dr. Sigrid Lange, Bonn, 11.8.2019.
