Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (1884 Rottluff - 1976 Berlin) "Still life with candlestick". Original title A sheet from the mature oeuvre of the Expressionist, created in 1968, typical of the style and motif. Schmidt-Rottluff, who was a member of the artists' group "Brücke" with Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Max Pechstein from 1905 to 1913, had already created his first still lifes during this period. In 1910, Schmidt-Rottluff took part in the exhibition of the Neue Secession in Berlin, in 1912 in the 2nd exhibition of the "Blaue Reiter" in Munich and in the Sonderbund exhibition in Cologne. After the dissolution of the "Brücke", he became a member of the Freie Secession in Berlin in 1914 and had his first solo exhibition there. During the "Third Reich", Schmidt-Rottluff was one of the artists increasingly ostracized by the National Socialists. From 1937, his works were condemned as "degenerate art", confiscated from German museums, some shown in the exhibition of the same name in Munich and burned in 1939. In 1941, Schmidt-Rottluff was finally expelled from the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts, which was tantamount to a ban on his profession or painting. The works in his Berlin studio were destroyed during the bombing of the city in the Second World War. In 1947, Schmidt-Rottluff was appointed professor at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Berlin-Charlottenburg, where he taught until his retirement in 1954. In 1955, he took part in the first documenta exhibition in Kassel. In the 1960s, objects and flowers became the artist's dominant motifs. At the same time, his directly realized works on paper gained in importance, not least after Schmidt-Rottluff had to give up oil painting altogether in 1963. In the present still life, he arranged a tall, diagonal branch with blue flowers compactly next to or behind one another, flanked by a candlestick with an extinguished candle and a spherical bowl with a handle. A high degree of abstraction dominates through powerful black contours and lines as well as sparingly used areas of color, with which Schmidt-Rottluff achieves a great flatness with a simultaneous unclear three-dimensionality in condensed spatial planes.
