Alexander Rothaug (1870 – 1946) est un peintre viennois qui a travaillé pour le théâtre mais s’est surtout fait connaître pour ses peintures murales. Les images montrées ici sont tirées d’une exposition et méritent le détour malgré le côté très ”mythologique/Art Nouveau”, pas toujours de très bon goût mais qui permet des choses quelque fois étonnantes.
Chez Rothaug, la rondeur des femmes, l’humour visible, la force physique représentée et une forme d’étrangeté dans certains tableaux rappelle de nombreux illustrateurs plus contemporains – Frazetta, Corben, Nicollet ou même Bodé – et du coup, un petit billet me semblait approprié.

Non,pas toujours de bon goût!Mais on sent qu’il y a pris du plaisir !
On sent aussi qu’il a voulu ”tout” mettre.Génial ou légèrement écoeurant selon l’humeur.
(La parenté avec Bodé est fort bien vue)
Oui, c’est rare de voir le plaisir de la représentation chez les peintres. Il y a une sorte d’excitation.
Kitch et très bien composé (espace négatifs)
La comparaison avec Frazetta est aisée ;-)
Des couleurs et matières m’ont fait songer rapidement à L’illustrateur Chichoni.
Incroyable de découvrir ce genre images sorties de l’oubli,
Merci.
Plutôt dans les hommes, le côté Frazetta :-). Il y a du Chichoni aussi dans les couleurs et le côté tordu des corps.
J’ai découvert cet artiste il y a pas longtemps. Je le trouve très intéressant, parfois des très bonnes composition de ses oeuvres, une technique assez particulière et personnelle. La musculation est bien représentée, vous allez me dire parfois trop. Sur ce point, le clair obscur en moins, on peut penser à Roberto Ferri. Je suis moi même un créateur plastique et en tant que tel je respecte beaucoup cette expression artistique
Je partage cet avis. Dans la figuration du corps, il y a ici une espèce de stylisation très dynamique fascinante.
