    • Marston, George Edward: Englische Seenlandschaft mit einem Boot am Ufer
      Jun. 04, 2020

      Marston, George Edward: Englische Seenlandschaft mit einem Boot am Ufer

      Est: €2,000 - €2,400

      Englische Seenlandschaft mit einem Boot am Ufer. Öl auf Leinwand. 41 x 56,5 cm. Am Unterrand signiert "George Marston". Als Sohn eines Kutschenbauers im Seebad Southsea im Süden von Portsmouth kam Marston 1882 zur Welt. Bereits als Teenager verließ er das elterliche Zuhause, um in London am Regent Street Polytechnic Kunst zu studieren. Noch zu Studienzeiten gehörte Marston zu einem Kreis junger Künstler und Kunststudenten, in dem auch zwei Schwestern des Polarforschers Ernest Shackletons verkehrten. Kathleen (1884-1961) und Helen Shackleton (1882-1962) schlugen Marston vor, sich 1907 für die Teilnahme an der Nimrod-Expedition zu bewerben. Marston konnte Shackleton nicht nur von seinen künstlerischen Fähigkeiten, sondern auch wegen seiner Körperkraft und seines satirischen, spöttischen Sinns für Humor überzeugen. Auch bei anderen Expeditionsteilnehmern war Marston wegen dieses Humors sehr beliebt und erhielt durch sie den Spitznamen “Putty” (zu Deutsch: Kitt). Während der Nimrod-Expedition war er für die Illustration des im Basislager angefertigten Expeditionsbuches Aurora Australis verantwortlich. Zudem nahm er teil an mehreren Versorgungsmärschen zum Anlegen von Depots für Shackletons Versuch, als erster den Südpol zu erreichen. Die Verbindung zu Shackleton blieb auch nach dem Abschluss der Nimrod-Expedition 1909 bestehen. Marstons Aquarelle, die er während der Expedition angefertigt hatte, erschienen in Shackletons Buch "The Heart of the Antarctic". Zudem begleitete er den Polarforscher auch auf seine nächste Reise in die Antarktis und gehörte während der Endurance-Expedition zur so genannten Weddell Sea Party. Nach dem Untergang der Endurance blieb er in der von Frank Wild geleiteten Gruppe, die nach fünfmonatiger Isolation auf Elephant Island schließlich am 30. August 1916 gerettet wurde. Nach der Rückkehr nach England kehrte Marston in seinen alten Beruf zurück und unterrichtete bis 1922 an einer Kunsthandwerkschule in Petersfield. Danach war er für das Rural Industries Bureau (RIB) tätig, einer Organisation zur Unterstützung der Landwirtschaft und der Beschäftigung in ländlichen Regionen Englands, Wales und Schottlands, deren Direktor er 1931 wurde. Unser Gemälde dürfte eine Landschaft in Mittelengland oder Schottland zeigen, wie der Stempel des Leinwandherstellers Combe & Co. aus Glasgow auf der Leinwand rückseitig nahelegt. - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.
