About the Item

Hans Schellinger (German, 1905–1990) Der Vogel Oil on canvas Signed ‘Schellinger’ (lower right) 55.125 x 35.5 in. (140 x 90.3 cm) A large and commanding composition, Der Vogel showcases Hans Schellinger’s bold, expressionist language on an impressively large scale. Dominated by reds and purples with deep shadows, the canvas hums with symbolic intensity, typical of Schellinger’s psychologically charged and often allegorical subject matter. Schellinger was an important voice in post-war German painting, known for his powerful synthesis of figurative and abstract modes. Deeply influenced by Expressionism and the existential weight of mid-century Europe, his work often explores transformation, struggle, and transcendence through archetypal forms. Der Vogel is a quintessential example—both monumental and intimate in its emotional resonance.
