Otto Eglau (1917 Berlin - 1988 Kampen), Wadden spirits, 1982. Aquatint etching, 14.5 cm x 18 cm (plate size), 32 cm x 33.8 cm (frame), signed “Eglau” and dated “[19]82” in pencil lower right, inscribed “Wattgeister” in the center and identified as no. 232 / 250 on the right. Attractively framed. - Three minimal foxing spots in the white margin, otherwise in very good condition - The imagination of the beach - In this puzzle, ghostly faces intertwine with the mudflat landscape, which is interwoven with rivulets of water that enliven the entire sandy surface. Other faces emerge from these faces, creating a puzzle within a puzzle. These ghosts, each with their own character, transform the floor into a turbulent image, and the work also reflects on the art of "looking" into linear structures. About the artist After his release from captivity in 1947, Otto Eglau studied at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Berlin. He was a student of Oskar Nerlinger, Max Kaus and Wolf Hoffmann. From 1953 he taught free drawing for architects at the Technical University of Berlin. In the years that followed, Eglau undertook numerous study trips that took him to Scandinavia, the Arab world, the Far East and even Macau. During these travels he cultivated the technique of watercolour, which allowed him to work quickly in the open air, while retaining a strong painterly quality. Scholarships enabled Eglau to stay in Japan from 1962 to 1963 and in Naples in 1970. From 1969 to 1976 Eglau was professor of etching at the International Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg. Between 1983 and 1988 Eglau worked simultaneously in his Berlin studio at Lietzensee, which had its own printing press, and in his studio in Kampen on the island of Sylt. Otto Eglau's work has been shown in more than 100 solo exhibitions worldwide and in more than 120 group exhibitions. "I love the vastness of the island. The mudflats off Kampen are my treasure trove; here I discover new shapes and colors every day. Without Sylt, I would be like a fish without water." - Otto Eglau Selected Bibliography Hanns Theodor Flemming: Otto Eglau. Das graphische Werk, Flensburg 1966.

GERMAN VERSION Otto Eglau (1917 Berlin - 1988 Kampen), Wattgeister, 1982. Aquatintaradierung, 14,5 cm x 18 cm (Plattengröße), 32 cm x 33,8 cm (Rahmen), unten rechts in Blei mit „Eglau“ signiert und auf „[19]82“ datiert, mittig als „Wattgeister“ bezeichnet und rechts als Nr. 232 / 250 ausgewiesen. Ansprechend gerahmt. - drei minimale Stockflecke im weißen Rand, ansonsten in sehr gutem Zustand - Die Imagination des Strandes - Auf diesem Vexierbild formen sich aus der von Wasserrinnsalen durchflossenen Wattlandschaft ineinander verschlungene Geistergesichter, die die gesamte Sandfläche beleben. Dabei gehen aus den Gesichtern weitere Gesichter hervor, so dass die Gesichter ihrerseits zu Vexierbildern werden. Die Geister, die ganz unterschiedliche Charaktere aufweisen, verwandeln die Standfläche in ein turbulentes Flächenbild, womit das Werk zugleich eine Reflexion auf die Kunst ist, etwas in Liniengefüge ‚hineinzusehen‘. zum Künstler Nach seiner Entlassung aus der Kriegsgefangenschaft 1947 nahm Otto Eglau ein Studium an der Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Berlin auf. Dort war wer Schüler von Oskar Nerlinger, Max Kaus und Wolf Hoffmann. Ab 1953 unterrichtete er freies Zeichnen für Architekten an der Technischen Universität Berlin. In den Folgejahren unternahm Eglau zahlreiche Studienreisen, die ihn nach Skandinavien, in den arabischen Raum, nach Fernost und bis nach Macau führten. Auf diesen Fahrten kultivierte er die Technik des Aquarellierens, die eine zügige Bildschöpfung im Freiraum erlaubt und dennoch eine stark malerische Qualität aufweist. Stipendien ermöglichten es Eglau, sich von 1962 bis 1963 in Japan aufzuhalten und 1970 länger in Neapel zu verweilen. Von 1969 bis 1976 hatte Eglau die Professur für Radierung an der Internationalen Sommerakademie für Bildende Kunst in Salzburg inne. Zwischen 1983 und 1988 war Eglau parallel in seinem Berliner Atelier am...
