About the Item
Hans Schellinger (German, 1905–1990)
Cornucopia, 1970
Oil on canvas
Signed ‘Schellinger Hans’ (on the stretcher); dated ‘70’ (lower right)
47.5 x 16.5 in. (120.7 x 42 cm)
In Cornucopia, Hans Schellinger reimagines the classical still life through a distinctly modern lens. Tall, narrow, and abstracted, the composition unfolds in layered shades of blue, punctuated by rhythmic forms that suggest abundance and offering and punches of reds, yellows and greens. The vertical format accentuates the painting’s quiet monumentality, while the rich tonal variations and gestural brushwork evoke depth and mystery. It is a contemplative and elegant work—both restrained and emotionally charged.
A key figure in post-war German painting, Schellinger worked at the intersection of abstraction and symbolic figuration. Deeply influenced by the legacy of German Expressionism, his canvases often carry an undercurrent of myth, memory, and metaphysical inquiry. Cornucopia, with its title invoking plenty and promise, stands as a poetic meditation on form and meaning.
