August Philipp Henneberger
'The Basque Harbor at Bermeo, Spain', Munich Art Academy, Karl Caspar

1951

About the Item

Signed lower right 'A. P. Henneberger' for August Philip Henneberger (German, 1902-1980) and dated 1951. Framed in a period, gilt-gesso and carved wood, Louis XVI style frame. A panoramic view of this picturesque Basque fishing port looking out towards the Bay of Biscay with various craft in harbor and figures in the foreground by the ancient stone wall, including two sailors talking and a fish-seller selling her wares. August Philippe Henneberger first studied at the Technisches Akademie in Nuremberg, initially working as a porcelain painter and, later, as a fashion designer. By 1925, he was attending classes in Munich with Lovis Corinth, who was then serving as President of the Berlin Secession. From 1927-1934, Henneberger furthered his studies under Prof. Karl Caspar at the Munich Art Academy where, in 1932, he was awarded the Academy Prize. From 1939-45, he served in Southern France where he was exposed to the French modernists, particularly to Matisse and the Fauves. After the war, which saw his studio and artworks destroyed in an air-raid, he returned to Munich where he worked as a portrait painter and became a founding member of the Donau Wald Gruppe. He continued to travel widely, both in France and the Mediterranean countries where he painted landscapes and worked as an illustrator for Munich’s Neue Zeitung. We are pleased to offer this elegant and lyrical harbor scene dating to Henneberger's late period. Reference: Vollmer Allgemeines Lexikon der Bildenden Künstler des 20.
