Two female nudes under a tree
Strongly stylised two-dimensional depiction, probably from the 1920s/30s. Scheiber, who was a close friend of Béla Kádár, was intensively involved with modernism and the avant-garde, Cubism, Futurism and Expressionism. The important gallery owner Herwarth Walden, who strongly supported him, encouraged Scheiber to move to Berlin in 1922, where he created the most important part of his oeuvre until 1939. From 1924, Walden regularly exhibited Scheiber's works in his gallery "Der Sturm" and published works in the magazine of the same name. In 1926, his paintings were shown at the "International Exhibition of Modern Art" at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, alongside works by his "Sturm" colleagues László Moholy-Nagy, Béla Kádár and Wassily Kandinsky. This was followed in 1930 by an exhibition at the Vienna Hagenbund and in 1933 by the "Mostra Nazionale d'Arte" exhibition in Rome, which Filippo Tommaso Marinetti even rearranged for Scheiber's works. Tempera (or gouache)/painting card. Attribution to Béla Kádár verso. 94 cm x 63.5 cm. Frame.
