AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare and important historically dated work from 1914 by the celebrated German Expressionist master Max Unold (1885-1964), a central figure of the New Secession of Munich (Neue Münchener Sezession) and later of the New Objectivity movement (Neue Sachlichkeit).
The front of the work presents a splendid still life depicting a group of pears arranged on a kitchen cloth with a geometric pattern of white, red and blue checks. The style strongly reflects the post-impressionist and expressionist influences of the pre-war German avant-garde, with decisive outline lines and structured color fields that enhance the volume and plasticity of the fruits.
The back of the cardboard bears a fascinating and contemporaneous partial painterly study depicting a female figure in a dark green dress inserted into a geometric background. This peculiarity greatly increases the historical-critical and collectible interest of the lot.
