About the Item

Fritz Uphoff (1890 Witten – 1966 Worpswede), Female Nude, ca. 1930, pencil drawing on paper with a colored overprint, 37.5 cm x 30.5 cm (sheet size), mounted on thin cardboard, signed “Fritz Uphoff” in the lower left corner. - Wavy at the corners due to mounting The body, precisely shaped with accurate pencil contours, exhibits an S-shaped inner dynamic. Thus, the modern woman with a pageboy haircut presents herself, in her own way, in the pose of classical grace. By leaving the face unspecified, the subject becomes an archetype of the new beauty. The all-over color structures evoke an impression of soft physicality and lend the depiction a sensual vibrato. About the Artist After training in stained glass and mosaics, Fritz Uphoff began his studies at the School of Applied Arts in Elberfeld, which he continued in Munich, where he also attended Heinrich Knirr’s painting school. Numerous study trips took him to Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and Austria. Around 1913, he settled in the artists’ colony of Worpswede, where he married the painter Lore Schill. Together with her and his brother, the painter Carl Emil Uphoff, he founded the “Werkgemeinschaft Worpswede für Buchkunst” a few years later. During the Nazi era, he was a member of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts, but participated in only a few exhibitions, including one organized by the Relief Organization for German Fine Arts within the Nazi People’s Welfare Association, which attests to his precarious situation. GERMAN VERSION Fritz Uphoff (1890 Witten - 1966 Worpswede), Weiblicher Akt, um 1930, Bleistiftzeichnung auf farbig überrolltem Papier, 37,5 cm x 30,5 cm (Blattgröße), auf dünnem Karton montiert, links unten mit „Fritz Uphoff“ signiert. - montagebedingt an den Eckbereichen gewellt Der mit präzisen Bleistiftkonturen akkurat geformte Körper weist ein s-förmiges inneres Bewegungsmoment auf. Damit präsentiert sich die moderne Frau mit Pagenschnitt auf ihre Weise in der Pose der klassischen Grazie. Durch das nicht weiter konkretisierte Gesicht wird die Dargestellte zum Typus der neuen Schönheit. Das All-Over der Farbstrukturen evoziert den Eindruck weicher Leiblichkeit und verleiht der Darstellung ein sinnliches Vibrato. zum Künstler Nach einer Ausbildung für Glasmalerei und Mosaik begann Fritz Uphoff ein Studium an der Kunstgewerbeschule in Elberfeld, das er in München fortsetzt, wo er zudem die Malschule von Heinrich Knirr besuchte. Zahlreiche Studienreisen führten ihn nach Belgien, Frankreich, die Niederlande und Österreich. Gegen 1913 ließ er sich in der Künstlerkolonie Worpswede nieder und heiratete dort die Malerin Lore Schill. Gemeinsam mit ihr und seinem Bruder, dem Maler Carl Emil Uphoff, gründete er einige Jahre später die „Werkgemeinschaft Worpswede für Buchkunst“. Während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus war er Mitglied der Reichskammer der bildenden Künste, nahm allerdings nur an wenigen Ausstellungen teil, darunter, beim Hilfswerk für die deutsche bildende Kunst in der NS-Volkswohlfahrt, was von seiner prekären Situation zeugt.
