He studied at the Technical Art College and the Castelli Italian Art School 1933-35. Nessler opposed Hitler's National Socialism, and moved to Britain in the 1930s to avoid Nazi repression. Nessler left a large quantity of work in Dresden, which was destroyed during Allied bombing. The following lots 46 to 53 are pieces created during the artist’s time in London and where acquired by the present owner from the artist's gallery, John Denham, London. John Denham, discussed the landscapes from this period, as places known to us, however we are seeing them through the artist’s interpretation “…the features of the landscape may be re-worked and quite stable elements shifted about to new site.” (‘London, A Personal View- Paintings, Collages, Watercolours, Drawings 1940s-1980s by Walter Nessler,’ John Denham Gallery, 1988) The artist's son, Conrad, has kindly confirmed the authenticity of this piece.
