Gemälde, Zeichnungen u. Grafiken 16. bis 19. Jhd. – Löffler 1932/4. Lorenz NSk 7.3.24. - Zeichnung von Otto Dix, die zur Phase seiner retrosepektiven Auseinandersetzung mit dem Ersten Weltkrieg gehört, in der er seine Eindrücke von Gewalt und Zerstörung in eine schonunglos präzise Bildsprache überführt. Mit schneller, fragmentierter Linienführung entwickelt Dix die Figur des Soldaten, dessen Aufwärtsbewegung ambivalent bleibt und zwischen Vitalität und dem Eindruck einer Kriegsapparatur changiert und somit nicht heroisiert, sondern die fortwirkende Traumatisierung und Entmenschlichung des modernen Krieges thematisiert. - Blatt altersbedingt partiell leicht gebräunt, mit zarten Knickspuren, Ränder leicht unregelmäßig und mit kleineren Läsuren von wenigen mm. Insgesamt sehr gut.

Paintings, drawings and prints 16th to 19th century – Pencil on vellum. Inscribed by a third party. The sheet is slightly discoloured in places due to age, with faint creases, the edges are slightly irregular and have minor tears of a few millimetres. Overall, very good condition. - Löffler 1932/4. Lorenz NSk 7.3.24. - A drawing by Otto Dix from the period of his retrospective engagement with the First World War, in which he translates his impressions of violence and destruction into a ruthlessly precise visual language. Using rapid, fragmented lines, Dix depicts the figure of the soldier, whose upward movement remains ambivalent, oscillating between vitality and the impression of a war machine, thus, rather than glorifying him, the work addresses the enduring trauma and dehumanisation of modern warfare.
