Vachál, Josef: Die Insel der Glückseeligen
Est: €2,000 - €2,500
Die Insel der Glückseeligen. Farbholzschnitt auf chamoisfarbenem Similjapan. 20,9 x 20,8 cm. Signiert. (1912). Diese farbprächtige Vision paradiesischer Idylle entspringt der Phantasie des tschechischen Graphikers, Buchkünstlers, Malers sowie Dichters Josef Vachál. Seit seiner Wiederentdeckung in den 1990er Jahren gilt er in seinem Heimatland als einer der originellsten Vertreter der Avantgarde. In Váchals künstlerischem Idiom gehen Symbolismus, Jugendstil und Expressionismus kongenial ineinander auf, ohne dass sich sein höchst individueller Stil auf eine bestimmte Strömung reduzieren ließe. Nach einer Ausbildung zum Buchbinder geriet Váchal zur Zeit der Jahrhundertwende in den Sog der Prager Künstlerszene und wandte sich zugleich spiritistischen und theosophischen Kreisen zu. Er glaubte an die Kraft der visionären Imagination und verstand den künstlerischen Schöpfungsprozess als Zusammenspiel höherer kosmischer Kräfte. Hin- und hergerissen zwischen christlicher Mystik, dem Okkulten und tiefer Naturverbundenheit, beharrte Váchal zeit seines Lebens auf eigenen Ansichten. 1910 war er Mitbegründer der kurzlebigen symbolistischen Künstlergruppe Sursum. Nach deren Auflösung bestritt er seinen weiteren Weg als Einzelgänger. Ihm war nichts an dem Zuspruch seiner Künstlerkollegen oder der Kritik gelegen. Die Kehrseite dieser Kompromisslosigkeit waren existenzielle Nöte, zunehmende Verbitterung und der weitgehende Rückzug aus der Öffentlichkeit während der kommunistischen Jahre. Váchals umfangreiches Werk ist jedoch alles andere als weltabgewandt. Vielmehr ist seine spirituelle Weltanschauung als Linse zu verstehen, durch die er in seinen Werken philosophische Ideen ausdrückte, über das Sein und die Welt meditierte, auf aktuelle Lebensereignisse reagierte - er warnte vor den Schrecken des Krieges -, die Geschichte seines Landes betrachtet und durchaus Sozialkritik ausübte. Nach Anfängen als Maler, entwickelte Váchal eine Vorliebe für die Ausdruckstiefe des Farbholzschnittes, dessen Technik er perfektionierte und experimentell weiterentwickelte. So arbeitete er mit verschiedenen Materialien für Druckstöcke, baute eigene Werkzeuge und erarbeitete sogar ein Imprägnierverfahren, mittels welchem er den Druckstock an verschiedenen Stellen unterschiedlich saugfähig machen konnte, um die Farbtöne fein abzustufen. In vorliegendem Blatt kommen sowohl seine technische Raffinesse als auch sein grandioser Sinn für Farben und Formen vollendet zum Ausdruck. - Prachtvoller, farbintensiver Druck mit breitem Rand. Unauffällige Stockfleckchen, diagonale Knickfalte oben rechts, weitere sehr schwache Knick- und Knitterspuren im Außenrand, montierungsbedingt drei dünne Stellen im Oberrand, sonst in sehr schöner und unberührter Erhaltung. - 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.

JOSEF VÁCHAL 1884 - 1969 - CALVARY
Est: -
Graphic sheet with author's note: "Print from three linoleum plates. 13 colors/ 18 exepl. prints. Print number nine." Josef Váchal's work is sometimes compared to the marginalia of medieval manuscripts - although it was on the edge of the artistic world, it is as important for its understanding as long texts. He projected mystical themes, curses and dark visions into multi-layered and often very wildly colored graphics, completely without perspective, to which he did not care too much. However, the fragmentation and color of the composition found its own means to create a mysterious space. Technique: coloured linocut, paper, Signed: sign. lower right: Josef Váchal 1949

JOSEF VÁCHAL 1884 - 1969 - CHAPEL
Est: -
Josef Váchal's imagery grew out of anxiety states, fear of the unknown and diary entries of nocturnal visual and auditory hallucinations. He wandered the countryside and found hidden stories, apparitions, occult phenomena in it. In particular, he explored the surroundings of Šumava with almost fanatical passion and described his experiences with astonishment, joy and horror. A painter, graphic artist, illustrator, sculptor and also a poet, he stood out as an original creator especially in the color woodcut technique, with which he impressed at foreign exhibitions, in Cologne or Florence. He trained as a librarian and attended a private school with Antonín Kalvoda. He lived most of his life in seclusion and poverty, always fearlessly forging his own path regardless of the ridicule and scorn of art critics. Technique: oil on canvas, Signed: sign. lower right: J. Váchal 31

JOSEF VÁCHAL 1884 - 1969 - THE MYSTICS AND VISIONARIES
Est: -
The sheets of the series, comprising nine woodcuts in total, represent symbolic and allegorical portraits of Christian mystics from different eras. The work is undoubtedly related to the contacts Váchal maintained with representatives of Catholic Modernism at the turn of the century. The voluminous titles of the individual prints contain spiritualistic and visionary elements of non-Christian origin, probably as evidence of Váchal's later departure from Catholicism. The copy offered is numbered ZP. It is worth noting that the publisher was the author's wife, whom he married in the year of publication. Published by Máša Váchalová and O. S. S. 1913, printed by Politika 1913. Published in 50 copies with Czech text and 50 copies with German text. The size shown is the size of the paper.
