Kurt Neyers 1900 Düsseldorf – 1969 ibid. "Moselle Landscape" Oil on canvas, stretcher, framed Signed and dated lower left (1946) Size: 60.7 x 80.5 cm (without frame) / 69.3 x 89 cm (with frame) Full-page black and white illustration in: Herbert Griebitzsch (1947): Kurt Neyers, Düsseldorf: Merkur-Verlag, unpaginated [p. [26 – see last photo] This painting, "Moselle Landscape," is explicitly mentioned in Herbert Griebitzsch's publication: "from a formal perspective, Neyer's paintings are most clearly constructed. The artist often follows village streets, where a naturalistic style of construction has a vibrant effect. The individual building is freely designed, its appearance simplified, in order to reveal the essence of the house and its connection to the surrounding nature through its rhythmic structure. This experience can be presented with magnificent power ('Luxembourg Landscape'), or it can be characterized by lyrical melody, as in 'Moselle Landscape'" (p. 20). ____________________________ Kurt Neyers 1920–24 Studied at the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts 1924–28 Studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, ultimately as a master student of Heinrich Nauen from 1928 onward, participated in numerous exhibitions. 1949 Co-founder of the "New Rhenish Secession" Solo Exhibitions: 1963 Art Association for the Rhineland and Westphalia, Düsseldorf 1970 Memorial Exhibition for Kurt and Lisette Neyers, Hella Nebelung Gallery, Düsseldorf 2008 Retrospective, Kreissparkasse Düsseldorf 2017 "Kurt Neyers – Painting," Kaiserswerth Museum, Düsseldorf Collections: Kunsthaus NRW Kornelimünster, Aachen Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum, Duisburg
