Details:
Artist: Paul Wilhelm
Title: "Standing Nude"
Medium: Oil on cardboard
Dimensions: 98,8 x 63,6 cm
Created on cardboard with oil as the medium, this artwork measures 38.9 in x 25 in (98.8 cm x 63.6 cm), showcasing Wilhelm's mastery of capturing the human figure with rich textures and subtle nuances. The image carrier shows a slight curve, and the edge areas exhibit small loss of material due to former nail holes, which have caused partial tearing. The corners of the painting are slightly rounded. However, these minor imperfections do not detract from the overall appeal of the artwork. Small, professional retouches have been applied in the edge area, along with a scratch in the center and a former bruise on the left.
The verso of the painting contains a confirmation of authenticity by Prof. Dr. Werner Schmidt from Dresden, adding an additional layer of credibility to this remarkable piece.
Paul Alfred Wilhelm, born on March 29, 1886, in Greiz, Germany, was a renowned German painter and graphic artist. He studied at the Royal School of Applied Arts in Dresden from 1904 to 1905, followed by further studies at the Dresden Art Academy until 1912 under the guidance of prominent artists such as Richard Müller, Oskar Zwintscher, and Osmar Schindler. In 1908, Wilhelm became a master student of Gotthardt Kuehl.
Throughout his career, Wilhelm held numerous exhibitions, starting with his debut at the Emil Richter Art Salon in Dresden in 1910. He resided in NiederlöÃnitz, initially at the tower house of the Grundhof and later at Gradsteg 46 in the Villa Elfriede. Wilhelm's artistic journey took him to Italy and France between 1922 and 1924, where he drew inspiration from the landscapes and cultures he encountered.
Wilhelm actively participated in exhibitions, including the DKB annual exhibition in 1929 at the Cologne State House, where he showcased his oil painting titled "Elbe Landscape" and a portrait of a woman. In 1930, he received the prestigious Albrecht Dürer Prize from the city of Nuremberg. However, his career faced challenges during the Nazi era when his artwork was confiscated and destroyed as part of the "Degenerate Art" campaign.
After being drafted into the Navy during World War II, Wilhelm returned to Radebeul in 1945 after being held as a prisoner of war in the United States. He was appointed honorary professor of the Dresden School of Art on August 24, 1946, and continued to contribute to the art scene through individual and group exhibitions in the eastern zone and the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
In recognition of his contributions, Wilhelm was granted honorary citizenship of the city of Radebeul on his 70th birthday in 1956. He received an honorary pension in 1960, allowing him to dedicate his final years to his artistic pursuits without financial concerns. Paul Wilhelm passed away on October 23, 1965, at his residence on Gradsteg 46. He was laid to rest in the Johannes Cemetery in Naundorf/Zitzschewig. Today, his legacy lives on through the Prof. Wilhelm Ring in Radebeul and the "Paul Wilhelm Wing" in the Luther Hall of the Radebeul Peace Church congregation, both dedicated to commemorating his artistic contributions.
Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Paul Wilhelm's "Standing Nude" and allow the artist's skillful brushwork and profound understanding of the human form to evoke emotions and appreciation for the timeless beauty of the human body.
