Lot No. 505


Heinrich Maria Davringhausen*


(Aachen 1894–1970 Nice)
Paesaggio di Ascona, 1914, signed H. Davringhausen, oil on canvas, 82.7 x 70 cm, framed

Exhibited:
Ascona, Heinrich Maria Davringhausen. La libertà dell’astrazione, Museo Comunale di Arte Moderna di Ascona, 10 March-9 June 2013, exh. cat., no. 1 with ill.

The first phase of Davringhausens work in 1914–1919 was mainly influenced by Fauvism and Futurism, which connected him to the activities of the Novembergruppe group (1918–1933).

Members of the group included
Heinrich Campendonck (1889–1957), Lyonel Feininger (1871–1956), OttoFreundlich (1878–1943), Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) and Paul Klee (1879–1940).
The group, under the influence of expressionist ideas, strived to bring to life the idea that art and architecture could change the world through radical modernism. However, only a few of Davringhausen’s works from this period (1914–1920) were preserved because about 120 paintings were destroyed during the war and dozens of works are still missing.
