Ernst Wilhelm Nay

Werkverzeichnis - Aquarelle, Gouachen, Zeichnungen

The three-volume catalogue raisonné of the works on paper by E. W. Nay (1902-1968) will provide art historians, art dealers, and every art lover with a long-awaited chance to survey Nay's oeuvre and gain an understanding of his art. With more than six thousand watercolors, gouaches, and drawings, Nay's works on paper far outnumber his oil paintings. He was an indefatigable artist who persistently put down on paper his ideas about form and color. The sheaves embody a "journal" of his work and allow the reader to draw conclusions about his work methods. While they document the processes behind his artistic activities and research, these works are at the same time autonomous creations. They impressively elucidate the artist's ambition and development.

Work Description

For Ernst Wilhelm Nay (1902-1968), painting was an entrance to a world beyond the visible, a world more real and more vital that lay beneath the surface of appearances. Beginning his career as the chaotic years of the Weimar Republic became the dark years of the Third Reich, it was natural that he should look to art for an alternative reality. One of Germany's most important abstract painters, this fully illustrated publication offers a fresh approach to Nay's work. This first-ever English monograph is accompanied by an overview of his life and work by John-Paul Stonard and in-depth history of Nay's reception in Britain and the United States by Dr. Pamela Kort.
