Descrizione
• An expressive winter landscape from Karl Peter Röhl’s late work
• The composition, with the sun placed centrally and beaming out towards us, is reminiscent of Vincent Van Gogh, Wilhelm Morgner and Otto Dix
• With this representational motif, Röhl returns to his artistic roots in ‘classical’ Modernism
Following his dismissal from the Städelschule in Frankfurt by the National Socialists in 1942 and the end of the Second World War, Röhl refocused on North German nature whilst in Kiel. The winter landscapes of this period often combine the technical precision of his early training as a decorative painter with the atmospheric density of his Expressionist phase.
As a master student at the early Bauhaus in Weimar under Johannes Itten, Röhl experimented with radically Expressionist and spiritual approaches. These ‘cosmic visions’ influenced the atmospheric lighting of his later landscapes.
