Good overall. The German painter Gertrud Zuelzer was decisively influenced in her life and artistic career by the major events of the First and Second World Wars. She received her training in Paris in the 1890s under Franz Lippisch, Gustave Courtois, Lucien Simon and Charles Cottet. The work of Paul Cézanne was also a decisive influence. Back in Berlin, she received further lessons from the history painter and representative of the Düsseldorf school of painting Arthur Kampf. After graduating, she worked independently as a portrait and landscape painter in the capital and took part in the Great Berlin Art Exhibition, among others. During the First World War, Zuelzer was a nurse on the Western Front. After the Nazi seizure of power, Zuelzer decided to emigrate to Switzerland in 1942, but was arrested at the border and taken to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. She only survived internment thanks to parcels of food and painting utensils from her sister. After being liberated by the Red Army, she returned to Berlin in poor health. Painting and drawing helped her to recover and she spent the rest of her life in West Berlin actively engaged in art. Portraits run like a thread through her oeuvre, mostly in the form of bust portraits and focusing exclusively on the sitter. The subject of our portrait is Hermann von Seefeld. Pastel on laid paper, highlightet in white. Signed and dated. Fully mounted to underlying mat and framed under glass. - Slightly irregularly cut along the edges.
