About the Item

- The Pilgrim's View -
About the artwork
Standing on a hill, we look at a bay with a town. The foreground of the picture is only slightly worked out, so that our gaze is completely absorbed in the view framed by trees. Up to the middle of the picture, the landscape is kept in a darker tonality, while the city appears brighter and the sea really shines. This brightening in the distance also focuses the view and makes the seaside city a place of longing. Accordingly, on closer inspection, we can make out a pilgrim in front of the dark thicket, walking from the foreground of the picture along the dark, hollow path that leads to the city. As the goal of his pilgrimage, a mighty church tower rises in the center of the picture, from which the shore of the sea on the other side and thus the goal of the pilgrimage of life may be recognizable.
About the artist
Albert Ernst studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Munich from 1932-1936 and was an assistant there from 1936-1941. He then worked as a freelance graphic artist, first in Munich until 1950 and then in Hamburg. In Hamburg he was also commissioned to design church windows for sacred buildings in Steilshoop, Bramfeld and Stellingen from 1977-1979.

GERMAN VERSION
Albert Ernst (1909 Fronhofen - 1996 Hamburg), Blick auf eine Küstenstadt, Radierung, 30 x 37 cm (Darstellung), 45 x 50,5 cm (Rahmen), rechts unten in Blei mit „Albert Ernst“ signiert, im Passepartout unter Glas gerahmt.
- sehr gut erhalten und ansprechend gerahmt
- Der pilgernde Blick -
zum Kunstwerk
Auf einer Anhöhe stehend, blicken wir auf eine Meeresbucht mit einer Stadt. Der vordere Bildbereich ist nur andeutungsweise ausgearbeitet, so dass unser Blick ganz in dem von Bäumen gerahmten Ausblick aufgeht. Bis in den Bildmittelgrund hinein ist die Landschaft in einer dunkleren Tonalität gehalten, während die Stadt heller erscheint und das Meer regelrecht aufstrahlt. Auch durch diese Aufhellung in die Ferne hinein wird der Blick auf die Aussicht fokussiert und die Stadt am Meer zum Sehnsuchtsort. Entsprechend können wir bei genauerem Hinsehen vor dem dunklen Dickicht einen Pilger erkennen, der vom Bildvordergrund aus den dunklen zur Stadt führenden Hohlweg entlangläuft. Als Ziel seiner Pilgerschaft erhebt sich in der Bildmitte ein mächtiger Kirchturm, von dem aus das jenseitige Ufer des Meeres und damit das Ziel der Pilgerschaft des Lebens zu erkennen sein mag.

Located in Berlin, DE
Jörg Olberg (*1956 Dresden), Agony, 1987. etching, E.A. (edition of 30), 24 x 17 cm (image), 46 x 37 cm (sheet), each signed in pencil lower right "Olberg" and dated "IX [19]87", inscribed lower left "E.A. [Epreuve d'Artiste]".
- minimal crease and dust stains in the broad margin
- The architecture of decay -
About the artwork
Jörg Olberg draws here the sum of his artistic study of the Berlin ruins, which were still present in the cityscape well into the 80s. With his work "Agony" he creates an allegory of decay. Positioned in the landscape of ruins, a ruined house grows before the viewer, rising like the Tower of Babel into the sky, its roof and gable brightly illuminated by the sun. But already the roof shows mostly only the rafters, and as the gaze is drawn further down, the building visibly disintegrates, the beams protruding in all directions looking like splintered bones. Slowly but inexorably - in agony - the house will collapse in on itself and become nothing more than the burial mound of itself. At the same time, the small-scale stone composition and the plaster form a pattern-like ornamentation of decay.
The tension in the picture is fed by the counter-movement of growth and collapse, which is heightened by the dramatic formation of clouds. The swirls of clouds are reminiscent of a world landscape...
