Max Pechstein
Maler, 1881-1955
Hermann Max Pechstein war ein bedeutender deutscher Maler, Grafiker und zeitweise Mitglied der Künstlervereinigung „Brücke“. Pechstein war ein Vertreter des deutschen Expressionismus. Er schuf vor allem Figurenbilder, teilweise mit exotischen Motiven von den Palauinseln, Stillleben sowie Landschaften (u. a. vom Lebasee in Hinterpommern) und von der Kurischen Nehrung, wo er die Künstlerkolonie Nidden während seiner mehrmonatigen Aufenthalte zwischen 1909 und 1939 maßgeblich beeinflusste. In Pommern erlebte er 1945 die Besetzung durch die Rote Armee, konnte aber noch im Jahr 1945 nach Berlin ausreisen und wurde im selben Jahr zum Professor an der Universität der Künste Berlin ernannt.

Comprehensive letters to the German artist Irmgard Hasenbach-Tavolato (née Seeling, 1899-1978), on the loss of his work (1948) and an exhibition (1952): "At least life is saved, although everything else is lost. What hurts me most, is the loss of my work, whole periods from 1905 onwards were smashed, a vast number of drawings irretrievably lost [...]" (Berlin, 31. III. 1948). - "Luckily all this fuss is now behind me. It proved very difficult to assemble all the necessary pictures for the exhibition, for most of my work has been lost.
During the three weeks of the exhibition there were more than 6000 visitors, but nothing sold, not a single sheet - the people need their money for the bare necessities of life [...]" (15. III. 1952)..

Comprehensive letter in German, to the artist Irmgard Hasenbach-Tavolato (née Seeling, 1899-1978) in Merano, about his financial worries: "Now, after my return to Berlin, I have learned of many things which also concern myself and which make it necessary for me to decide how I shall plan my further life so as to take care of myself and my family, for this I can no longer do by working as a painter [...] Is it possible that I exhibit in Italy, and may I sell my works, should someone wish to buy them? My savings would last for a little while, as I would be staying at a cheap fishing village. Here, my very existence consumes everything! and I can see when I will have reached the end [...]".

Inscribed to the German dermatologist Alwin Scharlau. - A representative of German Expressionism, Pechstein created figure paintings, frequently featuring exotic motifs from the Palau islands, as well as still lifes and landscapes inspired by the Curonian Spit at the Baltic Sea, where he greatly influenced the artists' colony Nidden between 1909 and 1939. - Traces of several postmarks. Self-addressed by the collector on the reverse. The Mecklenburg physician Scharlau (b. 1888) assembled a collection of artists' autographs by personal application.

Max Pechstein (1881–1955), German painter and printmaker. 3 autograph letters signed („Max“). Berlin, 1917, 1920, and 1933. Altogether 7 pp. on 6 ff. (Oblong) large 4°. With 3 autogr. envelopes, 1 letter with a nearly full-page hand drawing. – Amicable letters to the painter Alex Gerbig (1878–1948), who, like Pechstein, belonged to the entourage of „Die Brücke“. In his letter written during Word War I, Pechstein sadly recognizes that peace seems to be further away than ever before. The letter from March 7, 1920, speaks from his latest plans, and the letter from December 27, 1933, comprises a nearly full-page hand drawing, presumably a portrait of his son Max (b. 1926). „Beginning in 1933, Pechstein was vilified by the Nazis because of his art. 326 of his paintings were removed from German museums. 16 of his works were displayed in the Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) exhibition of 1937. During this time, Pechstein went into seclusion in rural Pomerania.“ (Wikipedia). Here in this letter, he deplores the various defamations against his person, namely the battue by „Heckel, Schmidt-Rottluff, Nolde and their followers“ (transl.).
