Description
Deutsch: Das Bild «Der Weg – Spanisch-Sahara» ist ein abstraktes Bild des Schweizer Künstlers Josef Ebnöther. Es entstand auf seiner Studienreise im Jahr 1968. Diese Reise führte ihn durch Marokko, durch Spanisch-Sahara und durch Landesteile von Mauretanien, die damals noch zu Spanisch-Sahara gehörten. Das erkennbare rissige Krakelee im Bild gestaltete der Künstler bewusst in dieser künstlerischen Ausdrucksweise. Bei der möglichen Deutung dieses Bildes hilft ein Bild des Künstlers, das er auf dieser Reise im heutigen Mauretanien malte: In dem Bild malte er abstrahierend, aber noch figürlich gut erkennbar, Beduinen in blauen Gewändern. Die blauen Formen im Vordergrund des vorliegenden Bildes könnten demnach gleichfalls abstrahiert Beduinen darstellen. Im Jahr 1968 beschäftigte sich der Künstler außerdem unter dem Bildtitel «Der Weg» mit dem Thema «Weg» – erstmalig nach bisherigem Wissensstand. Das Thema «Weg» bewegte und bewegt ihn in folgenden Jahren und Jahrzehnten bis zur Gegenwart immer wieder. Die helle, sandartige Farbe des Bildes, das Krakelee sowie mögliche im Bild erkennbaren Hindernisse könnten sehr gut die Sahara symbolisieren und die mühsamen Wege in der Wüste darstellen, aber ebenfalls in einem übergeordneten Sinne.
English: The painting "The Way – Spanish-Sahara" is an abstract painting by the Swiss artist Josef Ebnöther. It was created during his study trip in 1968, which led him through Morocco, through Spanish-Sahara and through parts of Mauritania that were still part of Spanish-Sahara at that time. The artist deliberately created the fissured, visible craquelé in the painting in this artistic manner of expression. A possible interpretation of this painting is helped by a painting the artist made on this trip to Mauritania: In the painting, he painted Bedouins in blue robes, abstracting but still clearly recognisable figuratively. The blue forms in the foreground of the present painting could therefore also represent Bedouins in an abstract form. With the title "The Way", the artist also explored the theme "Way" in 1968 - for the first time according to current knowledge. The theme of "Way" moved and continues to move him in the following years and decades up to the present. The beige sand-like colour of the painting, the craquelé as well as possible obstacles recognisable in the painting could very well symbolise the Sahara and represent the arduous way in the desert, but also in a superordinate sense.
