Max Oppenheimer (1885 Vienna – 1954 New York) The Ascension A preparatory drawing created around 1927 for Oppenheimer’s etching of the same title in the portfolio “The Story of St. Julian the Hospitable” based on Gustave Flaubert, published in 1927 by Bruno Cassirer, Berlin (see Wvz. Pabst 61). Unlike in the etching—where the angel supports the ascending figure from behind and lifts him up into heaven—in the preliminary sketch, the angel is suggested only by shadowy outlines, stylized clouds and rays, and the two hands below the arms, and was only elaborated upon later. Pencil on paper, mounted on cardboard. Sheet: 15 cm x 9.5 cm. Cardboard: approx. 22.5 cm x 15 cm. Provenance: Bassenge, Berlin, Auction 115, Lot 8378; Dannenberg, Berlin, June 20, 2016, Lot 4128. Pencil on paper, mounted on cardboard. A study made around 1927 for Oppenheimer’s etching of the same title in the portfolio “Geschichte von St. Julian dem Gastfreien” based on Gustave Flaubert, published in 1927 by Bruno Cassirer, Berlin.
