Schleime 95" Titled lower left: "Engel mit Rute (Angel with Birch)" Water colours by Cornelia Schleime fetch up to 4700 at auction Dimensions, framed: 58 x 74 cm In good condition "Angel with Birch" by Cornelia Schleime from 1995 is an ink drawing with water colour. It shows a girl with oversized black braids from which she seems to be hanging of the ceiling. The birch that she is holding with both hands seems to imitate the oversized braids, almost as though they were a tool to rebel. The braids remind of childhood, but due to their colour and length they evoke a feeling of defiance and rebellion, which is enhanced through the birch. The interplay between innocent childhood and rebellion is underlined by the title. Furthermore the contrast between the white dress and the pitch black hair and birch contribute to this extremely tense and interesting iconography. The water colour by Cornelia Schleime is in very good condition. Dimensions, framed: 58 x 74 cm. Dimensions, unframed: 39.5 x 56.5 cm.
