HEINRICH KUEHN (1866–1944)
Est: €3,000 - €4,400
HEINRICH KUEHN (1866–1944) | 'Am Hügel in Birgitz' (Mary Warner and Lotte), Tyrol c. 1906 Image Size: 32.5 x 44.5 cm English Gum print on double-weight vellum paper, in excellent condition. Photographer's handwritten notes on the process in pencil "5°, Amon 5%, 1:3 Alc." on the reverse. LITERATUR Silvia Höller, Peter Weiermair (ed.), Heinrich Kühn 1866-1944. Photographie als Kunst, Innsbruck 2013, p. 82. The rest of the nanny Mary Warner with Lotte, the photographer's youngest daughter, on a hilltop behind which a Tyrolean summer landscape stretches out, is a superb example of Kühn's pictorialist art photography, in which staging merges with immediacy and naturalness with abstraction. The figure of Mary, reclining across the image width in her dark dress and huge sun hat with a bow, forms a chain of hills herself, so to speak; the seated child, leaning affectionately towards the reclining figure, functions as the main element both motifically and compositionally. * Fully Taxed * subject to resale right Deutsch Gummidruck auf kartonstarkem Velinpapier, in ausgezeichnetem Zustand. Rückseitig handschriftliche Vermerke des Fotografen zum Prozess "5°, Amon 5%, 1:3 Alc." mit Bleistift. LITERATUR Silvia Höller, Peter Weiermair (Hg.), Heinrich Kühn 1866-1944. Photographie als Kunst, Innsbruck 2013, S. 82. Auf einer Hügelkuppe, hinter der sich eine Tiroler Sommer-Landschaft erstreckt, rastet das Kindermädchen Mary Warner mit Lotte, der jüngsten Tochter des Fotografen – Kühns Darstellung ist ein hervorragendes Beispiel für seine piktorialistische Kunstfotografie, in der Inszenierung mit Unmittelbarkeit und Naturnähe mit Abstraktion verschmelzen. Die Figur der quer über die Bildbreite lagernden Mary mit ihrem dunklen Kleid und einem riesigen Sonnenhut mit Masche bildet selbst gleichsam eine Hügelkette; das sitzende, der Liegenden freundlich zugeneigte Kind fungiert motivisch wie kompositorisch als Hauptelement. * Vollbesteuert * folgerechtspflichtig

HEINRICH KUEHN (1866–1944)
Est: €6,000 - €9,000
HEINRICH KUEHN (1866–1944) | Still life with tomatoes, Austria 1911 Image Size: 17 x 23.1 cm English Photogravure, printed in 1911 on Japanese paper 24.8 x 39 cm, image in excellent condition. LITERATURE Heinrich Kühn, Die vollkommene Fotografie, Albertina Vienna 2010, p. 272, 274; Silvia Höller, Peter Weiermair (eds.), Heinrich Kühn 1866-1944. Photographie als Kunst, Innsbruck 2013, p. 73. After moving to Innsbruck, the Dresden doctor Heinrich Kuehn became one of the most important representatives of Pictorialism. In still life, he was able to realise his photographic ideals in the best possible way, as the arranged motif could be controlled and precisely adjusted to the lighting situation. In conjunction with his special interest in positive development and the effect of different papers, Kuehn achieved the reproduction of a broad and at the same time differentiated spectrum of tonal values, as an abstract correspondence to the real variety of colours and light moods. The still life with tomatoes on a tin plate is one of his most successful motifs in this genre, in which the light reflections on the various surfaces are particularly appealing. * Fully Taxed * subject to resale right Deutsch Photogravüre, geprintet 1911 auf Japanpapier 24,8 x 39 cm, Bild in ausgezeichnetem Zustand. LITERATUR Heinrich Kühn, Die vollkommene Fotografie, Albertina Wien 2010, S. 272, 274; Silvia Höller, Peter Weiermair (Hg.), Heinrich Kühn 1866-1944. Photographie als Kunst, Innsbruck 2013, S. 73. Nach seinem Umzug nach Innsbruck wurde der Dresdner Arzt Heinrich Kühn zu einem der bedeutendsten Vertreter des Piktorialismus. Im Stillleben konnte er seine fotokünstlerischen Ideale optimal umsetzen, da das arrangierte Motiv kontrollierbar und präzise auf die Lichtsituation abstimmbar war. In Verbindung mit seinem ausgeprägten Interesse an der Positiventwicklung und der Wirkung verschiedener Papiere, erreichte Kühn die Wiedergabe eines breiten und gleichzeitig differenzierten Tonwertespektrums, als abstrakte Entsprechung der realen Vielfalt an Farben und Lichtstimmungen. Das Stillleben mit Tomaten auf einem Zinnteller zählt zu seinen gelungensten Motiven dieses Genres, in dem die Lichtreflexionen auf den verschiedenen Oberflächen besonders reizvoll zur Geltung kommen. * Vollbesteuert * folgerechtspflichtig
