Nikodem, signed, titled and dated on the reverse Artur Nikodem/Innsbruck-Tirol, 1919 with a note on the varnishing technique Firnissen in 1 Jahr mit Weimar Feigenmilch, oil on cardboard, 46 x 50 cm, original frame Provenance: Private Collection, Oberösterreich/Upper Austria „Dekorativ ist das Einfassen der Form in einen Raum – Kunst ist das Aussprechen der inneren Erlebnisse (nicht das Wiederholen der Natur)” Artur Nikodem “Decorative is the framing of form within a space – art is the expression of inner experiences, not the mere reproduction of nature.” Artur Nikodem This painting was created shortly after Nikodem's return from the war and his service as a telegraph operator in Constantinople/Istanbul. The art of the Orient had a lasting impact on Nikodem’s understanding of colours changing in light, and this work stands as one of the outstanding early creations influenced by that experience.
