Oskar Mulley Gebirgshof Öl auf Leinwand. 83 x 141 cm. Gerahmt. Unten links schwarz signiert 'MULLEY' sowie rückseitig mit schwarzer Kreide zusätzlich signiert. - Ein kleinerer Farbausbruch in pastosen Partien in der linken Bildseite fachmännisch restauriert. Wir danken Günther Moschig, Wörgl/Österreich, für wissenschaftliche Beratung und bestätigende Auskünfte. Provenienz Privatbesitz Süddeutschland Nach seinem Kunststudium in München und Wien lebt Oskar Mulley von 1918 bis 1934 in Kufstein in Tirol und widmet sich als Landschaftsmaler seiner unmittelbaren Umgebung. Entgegen der landläufigen bergromantischen Malerei sind seine in diesem Zeitraum entstandenen Gemälde von einer besonderen, atmosphärisch dichten Dramatik geprägt. Hoch thront der Berghof vor der noch im Frühlicht verschatteten, niedrigen Gebirgskette. Die reine Materialität des massiven Berggesteins ist adäquat in virtuoser Spachteltechnik umgesetzt. Als einzige zivilisatorische Lebenszeichen erscheinen die auf der Leine trocknenden Laken, die als Farbtupfer zu den hängenden roten Geranien korrespondieren. Das dicht an den Bildrand gerückte Motiv in dem großen Format bezieht den Betrachter unmittelbar mit ein - ein Inszenierungsgeschick, das der Künstler sich möglicherweise in seiner kurzen Zeit als Theatermaler erworben haben mag. Die kolossale, metamorphotisch in die Landschaft eingepasste Architektur mag hier als heroisches Zeichen für die vermeintliche und letztendlich trügerische Domestizierung der Natur stehen. Oskar Mulley Gebirgshof Oil on canvas. 83 x 141 cm. Framed. Signed 'MULLEY' in black lower left, additionally signed in black chalk verso. - A small, professionally restored loss of colour in pastose areas on the left-hand side. We would like to thank Günther Moschig, Wörgl/Austria, for scientific consultation and confirmatory information. Provenance Private possession, South Germany After studying art in Munich and Vienna, Oskar Mulley lived in the Tyrolean town of Kufstein from 1918 to 1934 and, as a landscape painter, devoted his attention to his immediate surroundings. In contrast to the alpine-Romantic painting prevalent there, the pictures he created during this period are defined by a distinctive, atmospherically compact drama. The mountain farmhouse towers up in front of the low mountain chain, still in shadow in the early-morning light. The pure materiality of the massive mountain rocks is aptly realised through a virtuoso palette-knife technique. The sheets drying on the line form the only sign of civilised life and, as dabs of paint, they correspond to the red geraniums hanging nearby. The shifting of the motif right to the edge of the large-format canvas draws viewers directly into the work - a skilful staging device the artist may have picked up during the brief period he worked as a theatrical painter. Here the colossal architecture metamorphically integrated into the landscape may stand as a heroic sign for the ostensible and ultimately illusory domestication of nature.
