アヤ・ソイカ、マックス・ペヒシュタイン 油彩画カタログレゾネ第2巻 1919-1954年、ミュンヘン、2011年、No.
マックス・ペヒシュタインの《Alte Fischerhütten》(1949年)は、キャンバスに油彩で描かれた作品で、風化した漁師小屋を光、形、雰囲気の研究に変身させている。太くリズミカルな筆致が、使い古された材木と藁葺き屋根を描き出し、ラベンダー色とバラ色に染まる空が、静かでほとんど瞑想的な輝きをこの光景に与えている。ペヒシュタインの大胆な輪郭線と平坦な遠近法は、キャリア後期の抑制によって和らげられ、砂丘、小屋、海のシンプルな幾何学が、ほとんど時代を超越した静けさに共鳴する。




1949年に描かれた作品だが、この作品は、ペヒシュタインが1927年から1930年にかけて、バルト海沿岸やロウ村での夏の間に、《Herbstabend》(1927年)や《Getreideernte》(1930年)で初めて探求したモチーフにまで遡る。その前の時期の手紙に、彼はインスピレーションについてこう書いている。




"マルティン・サクトが私のために用意してくれた、ラグーンにある小さくて空っぽの漁師小屋......そこで私は初めて、頭でっかちで、永遠の海のリズムを感じたのです"。(訳注)




晩年の10年間にこれらのささやかな建造物を再訪することで、ペヒシュタインは風、砂、海の要素的な力を、色と形の見事なコントロールと融合させている。Alte Fischerhütten」は、彼が生涯をかけて取り組んできた風土建築や原風景との対話の痛切な集大成であり、自然の静かな壮大さに対する彼のビジョンの不朽の証なのである。
