Willy Habl, Wide Landscape with Fields and Watering Place, North German Farmland, 20th C. (1888 Egeln to 1964 Hamburg), watercolour over pencil underdrawing on paper, signed Habl at lower right. A wide view across gently undulating farmland: in the foreground a green pasture with fence posts and a watering place beside which stands a pollarded willow, behind it a field toned in light brown, staggered fields in ochre and green crossed by hedges and rows of trees, on the horizon a dark blue wooded ridge under a blue-grey sky. Condition commensurate with age, slightly browned and creased, foxed, locally stained, image 37x51 cm (HxW). Habl's landscapes of the post-war years are reduced to a few broadly washed areas of colour; the depth arises solely from the staggering of strips of field and the cool colour of the distant edge of the wood. This manner of painting goes back to his training in graphic art: from 1904 to 1908 he learned lithography in Hamburg and in his early work produced above all etchings, figures in regional costume and a cycle of bookplates. Two of his oil paintings were shown at the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich in 1942. A sheet for a collection of North German landscape painting of the 20th century. German Description Willy Habl, Weite Landschaft mit Feldern, norddeutsche Feldmark, 20. Jh. (1888 Egeln bis 1964 Hamburg), Aquarell über Bleistiftvorzeichnung auf Papier, unten rechts signiert „Habl“. Weiter Blick über eine sanft gewellte Feldmark: im Vordergrund eine grüne Weide mit Zaunpfählen und einer Wasserstelle, an der eine Kopfweide steht, dahinter ein hellbraun getönter Acker, gestaffelte Felder in Ocker und Grün, durchzogen von Hecken und Baumreihen, am Horizont ein violetter Waldrücken unter blaugrauem Himmel. Altersgemäßer Zustand, leicht gebräunt und knickspurig, stockfleckig, partiell fleckig, Darstellung 37x51 cm (HxB). Habls Landschaften der Nachkriegsjahre sind auf wenige breit lavierte Farbflächen reduziert; die Tiefe entsteht allein aus der Staffelung von Feldstreifen und der kühlen Farbe des fernen Waldsaums. Diese Malweise geht auf seine grafische Ausbildung zurück: Von 1904 bis 1908 lernte er in Hamburg Lithografie und schuf im Frühwerk vor allem Radierungen, Trachtenfiguren und einen Exlibris-Zyklus. Zwei seiner Ölgemälde waren 1942 auf der Großen Deutschen Kunstausstellung in München zu sehen. Ein Blatt für die Sammlung norddeutscher Landschaftsmalerei des 20. Jhs.
