Curt Stenvert ranks among the most important artists of the Viennese postwar avant-garde. The study of movement is a central trait of his oeuvre, leading him to branch out into photography and eventually into film. Created shortly after the war, the painting “Lesbia contra Motor” signals the dawn of a fresh start in art. In dismantling the human body into formal elements, Stenvert harks back to Cubism. The motif of the motor and its dynamic energy, meanwhile, quotes the Futurists. The result is an abstract dramatization of sexuality: a pair of women set before a red-and-black checkered backdrop is confronted by the male in the guise of an engine.Painting101967519078Upper Belvederehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-9078/manifest
