Olga Potthast von Minden (1869 Sanderbusch - 1942 Varel): Coastal landscape with high cliffs, 1904, Oil Technique: Oil on Cardboard Inscription: lower left signed: "O P v. Mi". Lower right dated: "26.8.04". Date: 1904 Description: About the artist: The artist Olga Potthast von Minden, born in Varel to a family of civil servants, began as a portrait painter and was taught by the famous painter Anton von Werner in Berlin. She later became a pupil of Julius Preller (1834 to 1914), a painter from Varel who had previously been director of the Varel ironworks. Inspired by Preller, she devoted herself to landscape painting and undertook study trips to the Lüneburg Heath, the Vosges, the Eifel, as well as to islands on the North and Baltic Seas. The works on offer here depict naturalistic landscapes from her homeland, which are given an impressionistic character by the impasto brushwork. We see colourful skyscapes, sunlit meadows or waves breaking on cliffs. They manage without any staffage of people and yet do not appear empty or forbidding, but calm and dreamy. Despite the naturalistic rendering, the pictures are given a poetic content through the use of light and the play of colour. The quality of the works is particularly high and is in no way inferior to that of Julius Preller. The work comes from the artist's estate. Provenance: From the estate of the artist. Verso: On the reverse with a lithograph of a shepherd with sheep in the field.
