Neue Sachlichkeit

Klassische Moderne – Lorenz SW 8.2.1. - Elaine Logeais, die Schwester von Otto Dix' letzter Schülerin Roberte Holly Logeais, wird vom Künstler im vorliegenden Blatt als weiblicher Halbakt in sitzender Pose mit leicht zur Seite gewendetem Blick portraitiert. Die Zeichnung aus dem Spätwerk Otto Dix' entspricht der charakteristischen Bildsprache dieser Phase, in der die schonungslose Schärfe der Neuen Sachlichkeit einer kontemplativen, formal reduzierten Bildsprache weicht. Nach den Jahren der inneren Emigration kehrte er in den 1950er Jahren verstärkt zur Figurenzeichnung zurück, die von Beginn das Fundament seines künstlerischen Schaffens gebildet hatte. Mit wenigen, präzise gesetzten Konturen erfasst Dix Körperlichkeit und Präsenz des Modells, ohne die analytische Distanz aufzugeben, die sein gesamtes Werk durchzieht.

Classical Modernism – New Objectivity. - Pencil on cardboard. Signed and dated. Inscription by another hand on the reverse. - The sheet has a few faint stains and barely noticeable smudges, the edges are slightly bumped in places and show occasional handling marks. Overall in very good condition. - Elaine Logeais, the sister of Otto Dix's last pupil, Roberte Holly Logeais, is portrayed by the artist in this drawing as a female half-nude in a seated pose, her gaze turned slightly to one side. The drawing, from Otto Dix's late period, reflects the characteristic visual language of this phase, in which the uncompromising sharpness of New Objectivity gives way to a contemplative, formally reduced visual language. Following years of inner exile, he returned with renewed vigour in the 1950s to figure drawing, which had formed the foundation of his artistic practice from the outset. With a few precisely placed contours, Dix captures the model's physicality and presence without relinquishing the analytical distance that pervades his entire oeuvre.
