Karl Hubbuch – Zweimal Hilde I and II (1929)

Louisiana print with the work, Zweimal Hilde I and II - To gange Hilde 1 and 2, (1929), by the German artist, Karl Hubbuch, (1891-1979). The poster was published in 2022 in connection with Louisiana's exhibition on Germany in the 1920s, Det kolde Øje. Hubbuch presents his wife, Hilde Isay, in the portrait style typical of the period, with a tone of scientific, clinical recording of the exterior, often without background, as an object of use.

Hubbuch's portrait was originally a quadruple, but Hubbuch cut it in two after the canvas was damaged in the middle. Thus the work ended up as two double portraits, with four different representations of Hubbuch's wife.

The artistic movement of the period - Neue Sachlichkeit - the new objectivity or objectivity - included artists who depicted less personality and more types, defined by social class and work. Like most artists of Neue Sachlichkeit, Hubbuch was also concerned with everyday scenes and with reproducing objects and patterns in meticulous detail.

The portrait as a genre changed radically - from a psychological depiction to a cool observation of external characteristics.
