Max Peiffer Watenphul
Museum Gunzenhauser is devoting a retrospective exhibition to a particularly wilful Bauhaus student. Max Peiffer Watenphul succeeded in finding and further developing a singular figurative stylistic and formal idiom resulting from his various activities in the different Bauhaus workshops. Although he has so far been paid only sporadic attention by art historians, Max Peiffer Watenphul was actually very well connected within the art avant-garde. His many and varied contacts with artists, gallery owners, authors and intellectuals shaped his work. His friendship with Otto Dix, for example, fostered Peiffer Watenphul's engagement with the portrait, while Alexej van Jawlensky encouraged him to introduce colour into his paintings.
