Albert Bertalan
Damenportrait

1929

About the Item

Die Arbeit von Albert Bertalan war ein Spontankauf aufgrund der offensichtlichen Qualität der Arbeit, noch bevor ich etwas über den Künstler recherchieren konnte. Das Label „Ecole de Paris“ steht für sehr viel, vor allem aber für eine weltweit aufstrebende Künstlergeneration, die in Paris ihren letzten Schliff bekommen hat unddas sieht man. Realistische Porträts aus dieser Zeit gibt es viele, aber nur wenige schaffen mit reduzierten Mitteln Anmut und Eleganz zu vermitteln, wie diese Arbeit. Das Gemälde stammt aus der besten Zeit Albert Bertalans, der von 1926 bis 1930 im Salon des Independants, 1926 Salon d‘Automne in 1926 und 1930 Salon des Tuileries jeweils in Paris ausstellt. Das Porträt zeigt eine junge Frau, typisch für ihre Zeit mit modischem Haarschnitt. Eine junge Frau, wie man meint, sie bei Zeitgenossen wie Modigliani oder Balthus gesehen haben zu können – und zugleich doch nicht: Wo Sujet, Reduziertheit der Gestaltung und Farbigkeit eine Gemeinsamkeit darstellen, hebt sich das außergewöhnliche Damenporträt Bertalans dennoch deutlich von vegleichbaren Darstellungen ab. Es sind die Schlichtheit und Eleganz, durch die das Gmälde bereits auf den ersten Blick besticht, der weiche Lichteinfall, der dennoch klare Konturen zum Vorschein bringt, die helle Zartheit des Gesichts neben dem dunklen, beschwingt das Gesicht umspielenden Haar. Je länger man das Gemälde betrachtet, desto mehr Gegensätze wird man finden; und doch handelt es sich hier um ein so ausgewogenes Gemisch, dass die Spannungsverhältnisse in einem ruhigen, ausgewogenen Ganzen resultieren, das den vermeintlichen Charakter der jungen Frau zu unterstreichen scheint. Das Porträt bildet ein klares Zeugnis Bertalans Blütezeit.

    Located in Wien, 9
    No. 75 - Pustekuchen (2020), Öl und Acryl auf Leinwand & Mixed Media, 90 x 60 cm Elena Steiner was born in Susice (Czech Republic) in 1975 and lives and works in Vienna. She completed her painting studies at the Institute for Fine and Media Art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna in Johanna Kandl’s class. In her series of works, Elena Steiner examines a different type of person, sensitizes the viewer, confronts him with the uncompromising demasking of his own world and that of the portrayed by violating the illusion-bearing canvas surface. She creates realistic acrylic paintings as metaphors for being and appearance. The injuries in the form of seams, stitches and stitches are the epitome of traditional female role fulfillment. Elena Steiner deals with the questions of the value of fulfilling external wishes, social recognition and self-determination. Her works experiment with the border areas between painting, object, real exhibition space and imaginative spatiality and thus offer a captivating game be-tween closeness and distance, between impenetrable closeness and revealing familiarity. Her artistic work shows a zoomed in, sharply focused, snappy, humorous portrait...

    The two works are for sale together. Together they are more meaningful. The two figures are side by side, looking at each other. Each work is 92X73 cm. If it is desired to be exhibited together, the frame of one is slightly larger than the other. However, the canvas dimensions are exactly the same size. If desired, the frame can be changed. The work is oil on canvas. The artist does not use white paint on white areas. That is the nature of the artist. More information is right below. Ömer Kaleşi...
