Description

Adolf HOLZEL (1853-1934). Still life with guitar. Drawing signed and dated 1927. Height: 34.5 - Width: 39.5 cm (view) German painter (1853-1934). Hölzel first trained at the Vienna and Munich academies in the 1870s. The works of his youth are marked by the influence of LEILBL's realism. He then co-founded the New School of Painting in Dachau with Ludwig Dill and Fritz von Uhde. From 1923 onwards, Hölzel almost exclusively used pastels in his work. He is considered one of the pioneers of modernism in Germany, and is regarded as an experimental painter, art theorist and teacher. The "Hölzel Circle" produced modern works that marked the emergence of the Bauhaus. The painting illustrates the painter's modernism through its cubic style, and stands out from his other works through the absence of color and the use of pastels. In his first essay, "Ver Scrum", published in 1901, Hölzel asserts that the aim of artistic representation is to create a "pleasant and harmonious impression", which he believes is achieved when opposites are known, as shown in the painting by the rhombus surrounding the guitar. 70 years after the painter's death, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart has exhibited over 200 of Hölzel's works.
