14in h x 11in w
watercolour on paper
£6000 framed
Item number 2743
Watercolour on board of a naked male kneeling looking at his reflection in a pool and holding his hands up in surprise A very fine and rare early watercolour by this internationally renown painter. This early expressionist work shows elements of cubism and his later move to complete abstraction. The limited range of colours simplifies the scene making the man and his surroundings as one. The picture was probably executed in Stuttgart as it is on a board made by Albert Martz, a long established Painting materials retailer. Believed to have been given to Gottfried Heinersdorff by the painter.

Born: 1880

Born in Germany, Eberz was a graphic artist, painter and illustrator, teaching in Munich, Sttutgard and Cologne. After the 1st World War Eberz was working with Max Beckmann and was a member of the Darmstadt Secession but by 1937 his work was concidered by the Nazi's to be 'degenerate' and much was destroyed.
