AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale is an oil on canvas painting by August Deusser (15 February 1870 – 28 October 1942).
Rendered in an impressionistic style, depicts a group of horses in a rural landscape. Soft green and earthy tones, loose brushstrokes, and diffused light create a serene, luminous atmosphere, characteristic of the artist’s interest in pastoral scenes and nature.
August Deusser was a German painter and art professor, at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Under the influence of Max Liebermann and Wilhelm Trübner, he became one of the first artists associated with the Düsseldorfer Malerschule to turn to Impressionism. His first works in that style involved studies done on the training grounds of the 8th Cuirassiers "Count Geßler" regiment, resulting in a series of oils depicting their activities, in a style that is sometimes known as German Impressionism. In 1908, he emerged to exhibit a series of horse portraits at the Alte Kunsthalle. On that occasion, he received positive reviews in the magazine, Die Rheinlande, from its publisher, the writer Wilhelm Schäfer.
In 1909, together with his friend, Max Clarenbach, and others, he co-founded the Sonderbund, a union of artists devoted to French Impressionism. They held major exhibitions in Düsseldorf (1911) and Cologne (1912). In that year, he moved to Wiesbaden. In 1917, he was appointed a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. He taught and painted there until his retirement in 1932. Since 1972 his estate, the Deusser Foundation, has operated from Bad Zurzach in Switzerland. His home in Monheim am Rhein is now a museum.
