- Mental thunderstorm of war -
In the midst of the structures of a dissolving world a head forms, which is drawn into this dissolution. The eyes of the face are closed, so that the world appears as a dream face, as if the war, first greeted as an expressionistic beacon, now shakes the head and continues beyond the war.
About the artist
After studying at the Karlsruhe Art Academy from 1900 to 1903 and an interlude at the Burg Saaleck Art School, Georg Tappert returned to Berlin in 1905, where his works were exhibited by Paul Cassirer. From 1906 to 1908, Tappert lived in the Worpswede artists' colony and ran an art school there. His most important student was Wilhelm Morgner, who died during World War I and whose estate Tappert later worked on. In Worpswede he met Paula Modersohn-Becker, whose art inspired him. When Tappert returned to Berlin in 1910, his works were rejected by the Berlin Secession, and he and Max Pechstein founded the New Secession, which lasted until 1914 and included Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky, bringing together artists from the Brücke and the Blaue Reiter. In 1911, together with Käthe Kollwitz, he founded the "Juryfreie" exhibition in Berlin, and in 1918 he co-founded the "Novembergruppe" and the "Arbeitsrat für Kunst". In 1921 he was appointed professor at the Königliche Kunstschule. The Nazis removed him from his post in 1937 and in the same year removed many of his works from museums as 'degenerate'. Tappert withdrew into inner emigration, painting mainly landscapes. After the war, he devoted himself to rebuilding the Kunstgewerbeschule, which he merged with the Kunstgewerbeschule under Karl Hofer.

- leichte Knickspur im oberen Randbereich, ansonsten in ausgezeichnetem Zustand
- Mentales Kriegsgewitter -
Inmitten der Strukturen einer sich auflösen Welt formt sich ein in diese Auflösung hineingezogener Kopf. Die Augen des Gesichts sind geschlossen, so dass die Welt als Traumgesicht erscheint, als ob der als expressionistisches Fanal anfänglich begrüßte Krieg nun den Kopf durchzuckt und auch über den Krieg hinaus seine Fortsetzung findet.
zum Künstler
Nach dem Studium an der Kunstakademie Karlsruhe von 1900 bis 1903 und einem Intermezzo an der lebensreformatorischen Kunstschule Burg Saaleck kehrte Georg Tappert 1905 nach Berlin zurück, wo seine Werke von Paul Cassirer ausgestellt wurden. Von 1906 bis 1908 lebte Tappert in der Künstlerkolonie Worpswede und betrieb dort eine Kunstschule. Sein bedeutendster Schüler war der im Ersten Weltkrieg verstorbene Wilhelm Morgner, dessen Nachlass später von Tappert bearbeitet wurde. In Worpswede schloss er Bekanntschaft mit Paula Modersohn-Becker, deren Kunst sie inspirierte. Nachdem, wieder zurück in Berlin, seine Werke 1910 von der ‚Berliner Secession‘ abgelehnt worden waren, gründete Georg Tappert zusammen mit Max Pechstein die bis 1914 bestehende ‚Neue Secession‘, zu der auch Franz Marc und Wassily Kandinsky gehörten, so dass in der ‚Neuen Secession‘ Künstler der ‚Brücke‘ und des ‚Blauen Reiters‘ vereint waren. 1911 rief er zusammen mit Käthe Kollwitz die Berliner Ausstellung der "Juryfreien" ins Leben, 1918 war er Mitbegründer der ‚Novembergruppe‘ und des ‚Arbeitsrats für Kunst‘. 1921 erfolgte der Ruf zum Professor an der stattlichen Kunstschule. Die Nationalsozialisten enthoben ihn 1937 seines Amtes und entfernten im selben Jahr zahlreiche seiner Werke als ‚entartet‘ aus Museen. Tappert zog sich in die innere Emigration zurück und malte hauptsächlich Landschaftsbilder. Nach dem Kriegende widmete er sich dem Wiederaufbau der Hochschule für Kunsterziehung, die er mit der von Karl Hofer geleiteten Hochschule der Künste zusammenlegte.
