Rudolf Levy

Rudolf Levy 1875 - 1944 Stilleben mit Fruchtschale, Melone und Karaffe. 1923. Oil on linen-textured paper, mounted on cardboard. Signed and dated in the lower right. 48.2 x 59.3 cm (18.9 x 23.3 in). • Influenced by his time in Paris (1903–1914) and his encounters with Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, Rudolf Levy developed an expressive, modern style. • In the 1920s, the artist enjoyed great success in Berlin: in 1922, Galerie Flechtheim honored him with a solo exhibition. • Similar still lifes from the 1920s in numerous museum collections, including the Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Hessisches Landesmuseum in Darmstadt, and the Kunsthalle Hamburg. • In 2023/24, the Museum Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern dedicated the first retrospective in Germany to Rudolf Levy. We are grateful to Dr. Susanne Thesing for her kind expert advice and for providing further details on the provenance.
