- Lot Description
Edward Hagedorn (American, 1902-1982). "African Statue" - graphite drawing, ca. 1930. An impressive drawing of an African nkissi nkondi power figure, created in Edward Hagedorn's signature Expressionist style. The statue is depicted in profile with boldly delineated features and hands on its belly where medicinal elements traditionally are kept in the bilongo, and one can see an accumulation of pegs or nails that were placed there in order to settle conflicts between parties and make peace. This drawing, with its Expressionist style and African subject, reveals Hagedorn's Modernist sensibilities. Size: 18" W x 24" H (45.7 cm x 61 cm)
According to the introduction to Hagedorn's retrospective exhibition, "Edward Hagedorn was a true Modernist who created a trove of powerful works on paper--drawings, watercolors, oils, and original graphics that reveal the hand of a master draftsman and the mind of an astute political observer. He rejected the general trend in early 20th century California of local landscapes and coastal views, becoming virtually the single voice of Expressionism. He conveyed the darkness and upheaval that gripped the country in the depression years between the two World Wars, 1925- 1935, more forcefully than any of his contemporaries, influenced by German art of the time, engaging in modernist styles of Expressionism and Surrealism."
By age sixteen, Edward Hagedorn was a practicing artist in San Francisco with a studio on the Montgomery Block. During the 1930s, he worked for the Federal Arts Program created under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal. Living in the Bay Area for his entire life, he would later keep a studio residence in Berkeley until he passed away. His oeuvre includes oil paintings, etchings, and pencil and charcoal drawings like this example. The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco has a wonderful collection of Hagedorn's works.
