Blumenstillleben. 1920.
Oil on cardboard.
Lower right monogrammed and dated. 99.7 x 71 cm (39.2 x 27.9 in). [CH].
• Maetzel was one of the protagonist of the Hamburg Expressionism.
• In 1933 the Nazis confiscated his woodcuts from the inventory of the Kunsthalle Hamburg, as they considerem them "degenerate".
• Recent shows like "Die Hamburger Sezession" (2019) at the Jenisch-Haus, Hamburg, and "Ein Künstlerpaar der Moderne" (2019/2020) at the Edwin-Scharff-Museum, Neu-Ulm, as well as at the August-Macke-Haus, Bonn, shine a new light on the works of the artist and his wife Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen.
• During WWI Maetzel compiled a collection of African sculptures that would always play an important role in his œuvre.
• With the juxtaposition of a bouquet of domestic flowers, the rustic stein and a mug with the African sculpture, Maetzel created a fascinating contrats in the present work.
• Consistent provenance.
PROVENANCE: Artist's estate.
