AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Henri Ernst Pfeiffer
1907 Kassel -1994 Paris, Maisons-Lafitte
abstract composition 1930
a delicate experimental work watercolor on paper size 21 x26cm
signed in pencil HP30
original turquoise passe partout in a gold frame (without glass) size 35 x29cm
'The work explores the play of transparencies and subtle nuances with tones of pink, ocher and pastel. The artist puts in a subtle chromatic investigation based on the diffusion of pigment colors in the material of the paper, thereby creating a clear square structure. The work bears the monogram HP and is dated 1930 in the lower right.' gallery Chaudet Paris
'Henri Ernst Pfeiffer (1907-1994) is a German artist and colorist who studied at the famous Bauhaus in Weimar - Dessau under instructors such as Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. Promoted by the color theories of the Bauhaus, he developed a groundbreaking abstract oeuvre focused on the harmony of pigments, the refraction of light and the chemistry of colors. His watercolors from the 1930s testify to a poetic exploration in which geometry yields to chromatic vibration and the pure sensitivity of the material.'
