About the Item

Rudolf Nehmer (1912 Bobersberg - 1983 Dresden), The Lord's Prayer, 1948. Woodcut on yellowish wove paper, 15.5 cm x 17.5 cm (image), 43.5 cm x 31.5 cm (sheet size), signed “Rud.[olf] Nehmer” in pencil lower right and inscribed “Matth. 6,9-13” lower left. - The wide sheet margin somewhat bumped in places and with slight traces of creasing, the image in excellent, colorful condition. - De Profundis - This woodcut is part of Nehmer's most famous series, his pictorial interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount (Matth. 5,1-7,29), created shortly after the end of the Second World War. As if emerging from the darkness of a doomed world, the man at the table formulates the Lord's Prayer and, as a survivor of the catastrophe, gives thanks for the meager food that allows him to look up with hope. About the artist Rudolf Nehmer studied from 1932 to 1934 in Dresden at the private art academy founded by Ernst Oskar Simonson-Castelli under Woldemar Winkler and, after a brief interlude at the art academy, was a student in Willy Kriegel's studio until 1936. After his first one-man show in 1935 at the Kühl Art Exhibition in Dresden, which was progressive until the Nazi era, Nehmer was represented at the major German art exhibitions in the following years. In 1938 he stayed in Worpswede. From 1941 he was a soldier on the Western Front and in Denmark, returning to Dresden from British captivity in 1945. After the war, he had his first solo exhibition in 1945. Nehmer was a co-founder of the artists' association 'Das Ufer - Gruppe 1947' and in 1951 a founding member of the artists' cooperative 'Kunst und Zeit'. He had numerous solo and group exhibitions in the GDR, culminating in a retrospective at the Galerie Neuer Meister on the occasion of his 60th birthday. GERMAN VERSION Rudolf Nehmer (1912 Bobersberg - 1983 Dresden), Das Vaterunser, 1948. Holzschnitt auf gelblichem Velin, 15,5 cm x 17,5 cm (Darstellung), 43,5 cm x 31,5 cm (Blattgröße), unten rechts in Blei mit „Rud.[olf] Nehmer“ signiert und unten links mit „Matth. 6,9-13“ bezeichnet. - Der breite Blattrand teilweise etwas bestoßen und mit leichten Knickspuren, die Darstellung in ausgezeichnetem farbkräftigem Zustand. - De Profundis - Der Holzschnitt gehört zu Nehmers bekanntester Graphikfolge, seiner kurz nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges geschaffenen bildlichen Auslegung der Bergpredigt (Matth. 5,1-7,29). Wie aus der Dunkelheit der untergegangenen Welt heraus formuliert der am Tisch sitzende Betende das Vaterunser und dankt als Überlebender der Katastrophe für die karge Speise, die ihn hoffungsvoll aufblicken lässt. zum Künstler Rudolf Nehmer studierte von 1932 bis 1934 in Dresden an der von Ernst Oskar Simonson-Castelli gegründeten privaten Kunstakademie bei Woldemar Winkler und war – nach einem kurzen Intermezzo an der Kunstakademie – bis 1936 Schüler im Atelier von Willy Kriegel. Nach einer ersten Einzelausstellung im Jahre 1935 in der bis in die NS-Zeit hinein progressiven Dresdner Kunstausstellung Kühl, war Nehmer in den Folgejahren in den Großen Deutschen Kunstausstellungen vertreten. 1938 weilte er in Worpswede. Ab 1941 war er Soldat an der Westfront und in Dänemark und kehrte 1945 aus britischer Kriegsgefangenschaft nach Dresden zurück. Nach dem Kriegsende erfolgte bereits 1945 die erste Einzelausstellung. Nehmer war Mitbegründer der Künstlervereinigung ‚Das Ufer – Gruppe 1947‘ und war 1951 Gründungsmitglied der Künstlergenossenschaft ‚Kunst und Zeit‘. In der DDR erfolgten zahlreiche Einzelausstellungen und Ausstellungsbeteiligungen, die in einer Retrospektive anlässlich seines 60. Geburtstags in der Galerie Neuer Meister gipfelte.
