About the Item

Marcel von Herrfeld, born in 1889, was a son of Alice Herrfeldt and the Spanish painter of nudes Luis Ricardo Falero (1851-1896) who worked in Paris. Alice Herrfelt took painting lessons from the Spanish painter. In the year of the birth of her son Marcel, René Alice Herrfeldt married the Hungarian opera singer Alexander Klein. Marcel went to school in Munich, Germany and began his education at the Kunstgewerbeschule München during the time of the Art Nouveau movement. As an Austrian-Hungarian reserve officer he had to take part in the first world war, was captured in Russia, was sent to prison in Siberia and escaped via China and India to Munich. The works of the famous painter Franz von Stuck in Munich influenced the young Herrfeldt. His first exhibition in 1921 at the Glaspalace in Munich was a success. He showed a nude portrait of a female slave which attracted much attention. His studio was in Schwabing. His favorite subject to paint was the erotic female nude, which he didn´t paint in an academically aesthetical way but more along the pin-up-culture of painting. His women are athletic and self confident figures who present themselves at seashore or in classical poses of the Rokoko in the historical surroundings of a boudoir. Herrfeldt died 1965 in Munich. He received the Diplome d´honneur posthumously in 1971.

A Liberated Lady On The Cliffs Nude Sunbathing Framed 1920s French Oil Painting
Located in Sutton Poyntz, Dorset
Raymond Moritz. French ( b.1891 - d.1950 ). A Liberated Lady On The Cliffs, 1927. Oil On Canvas. Signed Lower Left. Image size 25 inches x 20.7 inches ( 63.5cm x 52.5cm ). Frame size 29.3 inches x 24.8 inches ( 74.5cm x 63cm ). Available for sale; this original oil painting is by the French artist Raymond Moritz and dates from 1927. The painting is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary frame (which is shown in these photographs), mounted with new fixtures. The canvas and the painted surface have benefitted from cleaning and conservation, which was performed on our instruction, supervision and approval. This vintage painting is now in very good condition. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed lower left. A later dedication to “Louise” dated April 1942 in the artist’s hand is set around the earlier signing. Raymond Moritz was a French impressionist artist and illustrator. He was born in Paris on 8 July 1891. His family came from the Alsace region and were poor and Catholic. On his mother’s side, the Staubs were from Wihr-au-Val where they had been coopers for several generations. His uncle, Marie Clement Staub, was the founder in Canada of the Sisters of Saint Joan of Arc. Moritz fought during the Great War in the Picardy region of the Somme with the 2nd machine gunner company. He won the French 1914-1918 War medal with bronze palm attachment, which signifies that the awardee was mentioned in dispatches at army level. Moritz obviously created some art during the war because during the inauguration of the new town hall in the town of Albert he was congratulated by the French President, Albert Lebrun, and the British press for the paintings he had produced. Albert was the main town behind the lines for the Allies on the Somme battle fields...
