Alexander Kanoldt: The Architect of Magical Realism
Biography
Alexander Kanoldt (1881-1939) is a German painter associated with the New Objectivity and magical realism movements. Born in Karlsruhe, he began his career under the influence of post-impressionism before turning to a more refined and geometric style, characteristic of New Objectivity. His rigorous compositions, with precise perspectives and subtle colors, capture a strange and contemplative atmosphere.
Style and influence
Kanoldt is known for his urban landscapes and meticulously structured still lifes. His art oscillates between meticulous realism and a dreamlike atmosphere, placing his works at the crossroads of classicism and modernism. He favors clean compositions and geometric volumes that recall the principles of cubism, while maintaining perfect readability.
An artist between tradition and modernity
An influential member of the New Objectivity movement, Kanoldt contrasts his rigorous and almost photographic style with the abstract experiments of his time. His Mediterranean landscapes and architectural views reveal a quest for order and serenity, marked by diffuse light and deep shadows.
