Oppenheimer, Max. (1885 - 1954) - "Rosé-Quartett"

Description: [Rosé Quartet] Oppenheimer, Max. (1885 - 1954) Rosé, Arnold. (1863-1946) & Fischer, Paul. (1876-1942) & Rusitska, Anton. (1871-1933) & Buxbaum, Friedrich. (1879-1948). "Rosé-Quartett" - 1920 Lithograph. Color lithograph, signed lower right in the stone ("MOPP"). Sheet with a few minor stains and small tears/handling creases to edges, overall fine. 27.5 x 30.7 inches; 78 x 70 cm. Pabst L-15. This huge and striking color lithograph presents an almost abstract organization of only the hands, the instruments, the bows and the part books of the Rosé Quartet. The subject is realistically drawn in life size, but arranged in jaunty three-dimensional pattern, evocative of modernist rhythms. Oppenheimer (who generally signed himself MOPP) also made two etchings of the Rosé Quartet, dated 1924 and 1932, as well as etching and painting many other musical subjects. Pabst mentions that the edition was unsigned but that a few signed proofs exist. The print is reproduced in color on the cover of Pabst's catalog of Oppenheimer's graphic work. Along with Egon Schiele, with whom he shared a studio in 1910 and Oskar Kokoschka, the Austrian painter and graphic artist was considered as being one of Austria's leading avant-garde artists and was known for his portraits of contemporary cultural figures such as the present ensemble, Thomas Mann and Arnold Schoenberg. Influenced by several different movements including expressionism, cubism and futurism, his work was included in 2 art exhibitions in 1908 and 1909 in Vienna co-organised by Gustav Klimt and his first one-man show was held in Munich at the Moderne Galerie in 1910. Between 1915 and 1925, Oppenheimer lived mainly in Switzerland, then Germany, before returning to Vienna. With the invasion of Austria by Germany in 1938, Oppenheimer fled to the United States. He died in New York in 1954. Founded in 1882, the Rosé Quartet was one of the outstanding ensembles of its kind during the early twentieth century. Except for Arnold Rosé himself, who was married to Gustav Mahler's sister Justine, its members changed over the years. The players who presumably would have been shown in this lithograph (Arnold Rosé, Paul Fischer, Anton Rusitska and Friedrich Buxbaum) had played together from 1905 to 1920. Besides cultivating the canonical German-Austrian repertory, the Rosé Quartet premiered music by many contemporary composers, including Arnold Schoenberg (both string quartets and, with Franz Schmidt on the second cello, Transfigured Night ), Anton von Webern, Franz Schmidt and Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Based in Vienna and mostly consisting of Jewish musicians, the ensemble was forced to disband in 1938. Schubertiade Music Arts LLC - BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!
