About The Artwork

Homage to Franz Marc: the unpainted pictures by Franz Marc, sketch 30 “Fragment, group of four horses” painted by Franz Huempfner 2019. The painter Franz Marc volunteered after the outbreak of war in August 1914. Like many other artists and intellectuals, he hoped the war would have a cleansing and healing effect on “a sick Europe”. His initial enthusiasm for the war gave way to deeper shock, which is also reflected in his letters from the field. As a soldier he was not able to do very much artistically, only his small sketchbook from the battlefield in the format 10 cm x 16 cm with 36 small-format pencil drawings has survived. In 1916 Marc was selected for the list of the most important artists in Germany and was to be exempted from military service. On March 4, 1916, however, he was fatally injured by a shrapnel on his last day of work on a reporting ride not far from Verdun. It can be assumed that Franz Marc would have turned his sketches into paintings after a safe return from the war. 100 years later, Franz Hümpfner took these sketches as inspiration for his acrylic paintings in the format 75 cm x 129 cm. He sees these paintings as an homage to Franz Marc.

" One eye of the photographer looks wide open into the viewfinder, the other closed, into his own soul." (Henri Cartier-Bresson) Franz Hümpfner is a well-known photographer. For over 50 years now, he has been searching for artistic forms of expression in painting and photography. It is important to him to use art to penetrate spaces of consciousness beyond the possibilities of linguistic expression. Thus, it has always been his concern to convey the reality hidden behind the visible world through his photographs. For him, a camera is a tool of his artistic work, similar to the way a painter creates his works with brush and paint. He uses both analogue and digital techniques. "A photograph requires the feel of paper," he says, adding that "the ephemeral representation on the screen cannot convey the sensual quality of a photograph print." He also creates Zen or Wabisabi photographs, which are particularly good at expressing themes such as the beauty, transience and imperfection of all that exists through their simplicity. In his book "Photoartfolio 1 - Wabi Sabi Photography" he also treated theoretically this type of photography. According to Franz Hümpfner, an open edition print has the same artistic quality as a limited edition photograph. "But unfortunately the buyer´s demand in the art business of our time forces the artists to offer limited prints. So nowadays a work of art is very often bought with a view to increasing its value. Art in its essence is declared at a share and thus abused." So the artist is pleased when a buyer purchases a work of art because it appeals to them and they honour the artistic work with a fair payment. Franz Hümpfner offers his works executed in the best materials. more information on www.franzhuempfner.com high quality poster prints on www.pictrs.com/franzhuempfner
