A View of Windhoek
oil on board
29 by 45,5cm excluding frame; 44 by 59,5 by 2cm including frame
Notes
This lively plein air painting of Windhoek was painted in 1923, during the artist’s first visit to Namibia.
His excitement in this work is palpable; conjuring the town through a responsive use of varied wet-on-wet paint applications, uniting compositional elements through glowing light, energised mark-making and vibrant colour. Few paintings of Windhoek were painted, and fewer are imbued with such crisp splendour.
Provenance
Stephan Welz and Co in association with Sotheby's, 7 May 2001, lot 534.
