Lot 1575 | Willi Sitte
Estimate value
€ 5 000 – 7 000
1921 Kratzau / Tschechoslowakei - 2013 Halle/Saale Taucher. 1995 Unten mittig signiert und datiert, verso bezeichnet. Öl auf Hartfaser. 60 x 52 cm. Rahmen (70 x 62). Willi Sitte war Mitbegründer des Sozialistischen Realismus und hatte in der DDR mehrere Lehraufträge an Hochschulen, gewann Preise und war Ehrenpräsident des Verbandes Bildender Künstler. In seinem künstlerischen Werk konzentrierte er sich auf ausdrucksstarke Körper und Aktdarstellungen, vereinzelt auch im Wasser z.B. als Wasserspringer (1964) oder Badende (1991). Der Taucher (1995) ist dabei außergewöhnlich durch die Verborgenheit des Körpers unter der Wasseroberfläche. Gezeigt wird ein junger Mann, der sich mit Ausnahme seiner oberen Kopfhälfte komplett unter Wasser befindet und mit seinen Händen am unteren Bildrand festzuhalten scheint. Die nur in groben Pinselstrichen angedeutete Umgebung lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf das klare Gesicht, das von dem in der Bewegung des Eintauchens angeregten Wasser umrahmt wird und den Fokus auf die in vollkommener Ruhe geschlossenen Augen setzt. Dabei unterstützen die expressive Malweise und die Farbgebung in blau und rot die bildliche Kontrastierung von Ruhe und Bewegung zwischen Körper und Wasser.
