The choice of drawings for the Munich Art Fair 2008 is linked thematically to our exhibition at the J.O. Leegenhoek gallery in Paris earlier this year in April, where the stress had been on works from the age of German Romanticism, with the Dresden Romantic school and its forerunners as leitmotif.
The art of drawing during the Romantic period is placed firmly in the foreground in Munich, too. However, the choice of works is more diverse. Works by famous artists include an early study of a tree in watercolour by Christian Friedrich Gille (1805 – 1899), a study with crab´s claws by Friedrich Overbeck (1789 – 1869), an unusual motif by A.L. Richter (1803 – 1884), namely a satyr with a dancing witch, and a vibrant watercolour of Castel Gandolfo by Friedrich Salathé (1793 – 1858). Caspar David Friedrich’s pupil Johann Friedrich Boeck (1811- 1873) is represented with a contemplative view of the Baltic Sea coast by full moon: a fisherman gazes over the wide expanse of the moonlit sea from the beach, sitting on a rowing boat which has been towed ashore.

The Munich Romantic School is represented with tree studies by Cantius Dillis (1779 – 1854) and a group of children by Wilhelm von Kaulbach (1805 – 1874). A recently discovered Italian landscape by Heinrich Reinholds (1805 - 1874) is shown for the first time.

Old Master drawings complete the selection. The double-sided sheet with coats of arms was probably drawn by Pangratz Bernhaupt known as Schwennter (1481 Nuremberg 1555) around 1550, it unites expert calligraphy and draughtmanship. Around 1600, Rudolf Braemi (1576 – 1611) created an emblematic memorial dedicated to the extinct Koch family: Snakes curl their way through a skull, which replaces the helmet of the family crest. Johann Sartor depicted a paradise featuring a host of saints around 1730 in warm colours. The large-size views of the park, sketched by an anonymous dilettante around 1785, transport the observer to the world of Goethe’s Werther.

Five expressive character heads sketched swiftly in red chalk by the Frenchman Jean- Baptiste M. Pierre (1714 - 1789) and the coachman by Charles Huard (1874 - 1965), waiting meditatively for some customers to come along, together form refreshing contrasts in conjunction with several bizarre and decorative sheets.
