Heinrich Reifferscheid Art

1872-1945

The German artist Heinrich Reifferscheid was born in Breslau in 1872 and studied in Berlin under Ernest Hancke and in Munich under Peter Halm and Albert Lang. Reifferscheid attended the Royal High School in Bonn; later he studied art history at the University of Bonn and architecture at the Technical University in Berlin-Charlottenburg. After he had started his artistic training at the State Art Academy in Berlin, he moved to the Art Academy in Munich in 1892 because he was able to specialize in landscape painting. His teachers there included Gabriel Hackl, Peter Halm, Emil Lugo and Albert Lang. In Munich, Reifferscheid made friends with the painters Hans Thoma and Edmund Steppes and the art historian Joseph August Beringer. In between, Heinrich was always drawn back to his beloved Rhineland, his artistic home. His first works show views of his home environment. Created with the finest tools, whether needle, pen or brush, the smallest details were just as important to him as the moods that characterize him in his environment. These moods particularly surround the portraits of the personalities that Reifferscheid portrayed. Study trips took him from 1894–96 to the Swabian Jura and the Danube Valley. He became a member of the Berlin Secession founded in 1898 and, together with Lovis Corinth, Käthe Kollwitz, Walter Leistikow, Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt and Anders Zorn formed. Reifferscheid also had contact with Hans Thoma, Edmund Steppes and Joseph August Beringer. Heinrich won first prize in front of Karl Hofer, Marie Stein and Martha Cunz in the competition for original etchings published by EA Seemann in 1903. The results of the competition were published in the Art Chronicle from 1903–04. In his last years, Reifferscheid artistically dealt mainly with the Rhine and Rhineland themes. At that time he lived in his house in the vineyard in Niederdollendorf, which today belongs to Königswinter. The Königswinterer Straße, where his house stood, was later renamed Bergstrasse. A memorial stone in front of this house, which Reifferscheid's son Gerhard had built, is reminiscent of the painter. Reifferscheid was a member of the German Association of Artists.

Portrait de Jeune Fille Portrait of a Girl 1970  original aquatint Leonor Fini

Portrait de Jeune Fille Portrait of a Girl 1970 original aquatint Leonor Fini

By Leonor Fini

Located in Paonia, CO

Portrait de Jeune Fille is a haunting portrait of a young girl also known as .. Justine… she could be either fading into the distance or just materializing out of a dream state. Her hair and the air around her is in shades of pale blue and the background is the white of the paper. This is a limited edition ( 170/300) aquatint , signed in the plate. In good condition with a 1" repaired tear midway on the right border which will not show when framed. Argentinian-born artist Leonor Fini (1907-1996) is considered one of the great female artists of the twentieth century. She moved to Paris in the early 1930’s where she spent most of her life and almost immediately formed friendships with Salvador Dali, Cartier- Bresson, Max Ernst and other intellectuals of the time. At twenty five she had her first one person show in Paris and was included in the 1936 pivotal exhibition at MOMA…Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism…..and that same year had an exhibition at a famous avant garde gallery in New York. Although Fini never considered herself a Surrealist she maintained close personal relationships with several members of the group. One can see how their ideology influenced her work but she remained firmly rooted in the tradition of Symbolism, Metaphysics and Italian and German Romanticism Her works can be found in most important collections of modern art around the world. Fini was renowned as a portraitist and as a painter of erotic sexual tensions with a mysterious atmosphere. She was adamant about being independent and not belonging to any one group. She lived life on her own terms and is sometimes referred to as …..the female Dali. She was also involved with designing for fashion and creating elaborate sets for opera and theatre. As a feminist she was definitely ahead of the times. She produced the first erotic male nude...
