Karl Peter Röhl *
(Kiel 1890–1975)
Untitled, signed, dated, Karl Peter Röhl 26, gouache, ink on thick paper, 65 x 49 cm, framed, (PP)
Provenance:
Galerie Gmurzynska, Cologne
European Private Collection
Karl Peter Röhl (1890–1975) belongs to the generation of artists who, under the influence of the ‘Lebensreform’ [life reform] movement and the emergence of modernism in the arts, wanted to develop their utopian visions of a ‘new man’ after the trauma of World War I. He was a member of the artists’ group centred around Molzahn, joined Herwarth Walden’s ‘Sturm’ circle in Berlin, later becoming an influential ‘young master’ of the early Bauhaus and finally a member of the De Stijl group led by Theo van Doesburg in Weimar – and, as such, he was in touch with the focal points of the avant-garde in the 1920s.
