Otto Dix

Otto Dix 1891 - 1969 Pferd am Nachmittag. 1917. Gouache over charcoal. Signed and dated in the upper left. Titled in pencil on the reverse. On brownish wove paper. 39.8 x 38.7 cm (15.6 x 15.2 in), the full sheet. [KA]. • A dynamic landscape rendered in an expressive kaleidoscopic perspective. • In this highly emotional composition, Otto Dix addresses the front-line events, caught between existential turmoil and deep longing. • The crystalline surfaces and the pulsating rhythm of the color scheme directly reflect the artist’s inner turmoil. • Created on the Western Front during his deployment in Flanders in 1917. • Gouaches from this formative creative phase are at among others, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Dresden State Art Collections, and the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. • Most recently, works by the artist were shown in the exhibition “Otto Dix and New Objectivity” at the Dresden State Art Collections (Museum Gunzenhauser) (February–May 2026). Accompanied by a photographic report and an accompanying certificate of authenticity issued by Dr. Suse Pfäffle of the Otto Dix Foundation, Vaduz, dated November 23, 1990.
