About the Item

Rudolf Nehmer (1912 Bobersberg - 1983 Dresden), The Fieldman and Death, around 1948. Woodcut on yellowish wove paper, 16.8 cm x 15.8 cm (depiction), 42 cm x 30 cm (sheet size), signed “Rud.[olf] Nehmer” in pencil lower right. - The wide sheet margin somewhat wavy, minimally light-stained, the image in excellent, colorful condition. - Sowing and Harvest - In this painting Rudolf Nehmer reflects on the immediate catastrophic past. He refers to the medieval story "The Farmer from Bohemia" by Johannes von Tepl, but instead of a dialogue with Death, Death sits behind the farmer and sharpens his scythe while the farmer tills the field. The result is not a blooming landscape, but a dead landscape of Death - an inverted sacred grove from which Death will bring home his harvest. About the artist Rudolf Nehmer studied from 1932 to 1934 in Dresden at the private art academy founded by Ernst Oskar Simonson-Castelli under Woldemar Winkler and, after a brief interlude at the art academy, was a student in Willy Kriegel's studio until 1936. After his first one-man show in 1935 at the Kühl Art Exhibition in Dresden, which was progressive until the Nazi era, Nehmer was represented at the major German art exhibitions in the following years. In 1938 he stayed in Worpswede. From 1941 he was a soldier on the Western Front and in Denmark, returning to Dresden from British captivity in 1945. After the war, he had his first solo exhibition in 1945. Nehmer was a co-founder of the artists' association 'Das Ufer - Gruppe 1947' and in 1951 a founding member of the artists' cooperative 'Kunst und Zeit'. He had numerous solo and group exhibitions in the GDR, culminating in a retrospective at the Galerie Neuer Meister on the occasion of his 60th birthday. GERMAN VERSION Rudolf Nehmer (1912 Bobersberg - 1983 Dresden), Der Ackermann und der Tod, um 1948. Holzschnitt auf gelblichem Velin, 16,8 cm x 15,8 cm (Darstellung), 42 cm x 30 cm (Blattgröße), unten rechts in Blei mit „Rud.[olf] Nehmer“ signiert. - Der breite Blattrand etwas gewellt, minimal lichtrandig, die Darstellung in ausgezeichnetem farbkräftigem Zustand. - Aussaat und Ernte - Rudolf Nehmer reflektiert mit diesem Bild die unmittelbare katastrophale Vergangenheit. Dazu bezieht er sich auf die mittelalterliche Erzählung „Der Ackermann aus Böhmen“ von Johannes von Tepl. Statt eines Dialogs mit dem Tod sitzt der Tod hier allerdings dem Ackermann im Rücken und schärft seine Sense, während der Bauer das Feld bestellt. Es entstehen keine blühenden Landschafen, sondern eine abgestorbene Todeslandschaft – ein invertierter Heiliger Hain, von dem aus der Tod seine Ernte heimbringen wird. zum Künstler Rudolf Nehmer studierte von 1932 bis 1934 in Dresden an der von Ernst Oskar Simonson-Castelli gegründeten privaten Kunstakademie bei Woldemar Winkler und war – nach einem kurzen Intermezzo an der Kunstakademie – bis 1936 Schüler im Atelier von Willy Kriegel. Nach einer ersten Einzelausstellung im Jahre 1935 in der bis in die NS-Zeit hinein progressiven Dresdner Kunstausstellung Kühl, war Nehmer in den Folgejahren in den Großen Deutschen Kunstausstellungen vertreten. 1938 weilte er in Worpswede. Ab 1941 war er Soldat an der Westfront und in Dänemark und kehrte 1945 aus britischer Kriegsgefangenschaft nach Dresden zurück. Nach dem Kriegsende erfolgte bereits 1945 die erste Einzelausstellung. Nehmer war Mitbegründer der Künstlervereinigung ‚Das Ufer – Gruppe 1947‘ und war 1951 Gründungsmitglied der Künstlergenossenschaft ‚Kunst und Zeit‘. In der DDR erfolgten zahlreiche Einzelausstellungen und Ausstellungsbeteiligungen, die in einer Retrospektive anlässlich seines 60. Geburtstags in der Galerie Neuer Meister gipfelte.
