Christian Peschke (1946 Bad Säckingen - 2017 Flintsbach) Red Horses Under the strong influence of Franz Marc, Peschke's work is painted in bright, sometimes contrasting colours. Horses are central motifs in his oeuvre, as they reflect vitality, strong physical strength and freedom. Peschke thus stands in the deliberate tradition of classical modernism and the avant-gardes of the first half of the 20th century, whereby he was inspired by Cubism as well as the German Expressionism of the "Brücke" painters and the "Blaue Reiter". Peschke, who studied under Gerhard Gollwitzer at the Stuttgart Academy, first settled in Spain as a freelance artist at the age of 35; he later lived in Merano and Bolzano, Bruckmühl and Flintsbach. Peschke has been represented at numerous exhibitions at home and abroad since the mid-1990s. Oil or acrylic/painting cardboard. Signed a. r. a. dat. (19)96. 61 cm x 72 cm. Frame.
