Gunter Schulz-Ihlefeldt
'The Harbor at Low Tide', German Modernist Seascape

1950

About the Item

Signed lower right, 'Gunter Schulz-Ilhefeldt' (German, 1912-1966) and dated 1950. An elegant, modernist coastal scene showing a substantial stone-built breakwater at low tide juxtaposing beached boats in rust and jade drawn up on the sandy shore. A student at the Art Academy Berlin-Charlottenburg in Brandenburg and the Städelschule in Frankfurt from 1931-1937, Schulz-Ihlefeldt was a lecturer in anatomy and painting at the Städelschule with his own master studio until his military service began in 1940. A prisoner of war in Russia, Schulz-Ihlefedt recorded his experience through his drawings and watercolors. After the end of military service in 1949 and, returning to a destroyed studio, Schulz-Ihlefeldt worked and lived in Hofeim, where a collection of his work is in the permanent collection of the Hofheim Museum. He turned to abstract painting under the influence of Nachkriegsmoderne in the West and became a representative of the German Informel. Throughout the 1950's, many of Schulz-Ihlefeldt's works were done on paper. Late in life, Schulz-Ihlefeldt returned to teaching, and was appointed assistant professor at the University of Giessen.

  • A Fishing Boat at Sea, Late Mid-Century Gouache on Paper
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    French gouache on paper of a boat travelling the seas. The work is unsigned but dated 22/11/70. Presented in simple gilt frame with handcut mount. A really engaging and powerful painting. The artist has managed to capture the swell of the sea, the movement of the boat listing gently to one side, the slightly rusty hull, the moody sky filled with all the seagulls following behind, which suggests it might be a fishing boat. They have used a limited but strong colour palette, blues, blacks and greys and then just to highlight and catch the eye a splash of green to represent the starboard or right bow light.
