Tewes, Rudolph. 1879 - Bremen - 1965. View of the Eiffel Tower from the Seine. 1914. oil/canvas, lower center signed a. dated Tewes 1914, 39 x 47 cm, verso on stretcher inscribed T 437 as well as on canvas inscribed verni á l'ombre de Blockx [Amber varnish], framed 50 x 58 cm.- After his studies at the Munich academy Tewes went about 1904 for a longer stay to Paris, traveled further Italy, Spain and South America. Between 1919-27 followed another stay in Paris, until he then settled in Berlin and became a member of the Berlin Secession. His paintings are particularly influenced by Van Gogh in terms of color choice and brushwork. These parallels led to a joint presentation of 20 Tewes paintings with seven paintings by Van Gogh at the Kunsthalle Bremen in 1910. In 1939 he moved to Bremen. In 2000, the Bremen Kunsthalle dedicated a special exhibition to the painter under the title ''Rudolf Tewes - A Painter under the Spell of Late Impressionism.''
