About the Item

POT ONIONS Size: 67 x 72 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A large and very well executed mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas. In this composition, four onions sit amidst a copper lid and vessel. The colour palette is restrained, focused mainly on purple, green, and orangey brown. Expressionist brushstrokes fill the background, creating a wonderful light and shadow effect, while echoing the colours of the objects in the foreground. The artist has very successfully captured the colour variation of the skin of the onions as well as the reflective surface of the copper objects. This large painting would look brilliant in a kitchen or dining setting. It is presented in a simple wood frame that complements it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible. Should you need more photos or wish to ask us more questions regarding an item's condition, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.

Mid Century Onions and Copper Pot Still Life
By Daniel Wohlgemuth
Located in Soquel, CA
A rare and charming German mid-century onion still life by Daniel Wohlgemuth (German, 1876-1967). Signed "Wohlgemuth", dated "1964" lower right. Unframed. Image size: 20"H x 28"W. Wohlgemuth, Daniel (1876-1967), a son of Johannes Wohlgemuth of Albisheim an der Pfrim and Katharina (Krehbiel) Wohlgemuth of Weierhof, was born at Albisheim 17 April 1876, but reared by his uncle Johannes Krehbiel of Weierhof, studied art at Frankfurt and Strasbourg, and finally at the Art Academy in Munich under Franz von Stuck. His travels in Italy, Palestine, and Russia contributed to his development. His artistic work was done chiefly in his native Rhenish Hesse and the Palatinate (for a time living at Weierhof, later at Gundersheim near Worms), but also for a time in Munich and Berlin. His chief medium was black and white drawing, including charcoal (often lithographs) but also water colors and oils. His themes were largely landscapes, often of his native land, with a fine series on Palestine. He also did many portraits, including an ex­cellent one of Albert Schweitzer...
