Tegtmeier, Wilhelm. 1895 Barmen - 1968 Nethen/Oldenburg. Self-portrait as graphic artist. 1925. woodcut, lower center in the stick monogr. and dated as well as signed lower right with blstft., sheet ca. 53 x 44.4 cm, framed behind glass 57 x 48.5 cm, unopened - Provenance: From the artist's family - In 1919 Tegtmeier got to know the Worpswede artists Heinrich Vogeler and Otto Tetjus Tügel. Mediated by Franz Radziwill, Tegtmeier published in 1921 in the most important expressionist art magazine in Hamburg at the time, ''Kündigung - Eine Zeitschrift für Kunst'', as well as in the ''Aktion''. Around the mid-1920s, he turned away from Expressionism and toward New Objectivity. The self-portrait shows clear reminiscences of technique and themes of the old German art of an Albrecht Dürer, with which he was strongly engaged at this time.
