Erst um 1800 wurde das Aquarell zum autonomen Bildtyp, seine Charakteristika zu kunstlerisch autonomen Gestaltungsmitteln. Gotlind Birkle untersucht erstmals die Entstehung der modernen Aquarellmalerei in den deutschen Landern und leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zu aktuellen materialasthetischen Debatten in der Kunstgeschichte.
English summary: Transparent, light-filled colours, different stains and blots as well as the visibility of the watery paint – all of this characterises watercolour painting. It was not until around 1800 that watercolour became a pictorial genre with an aesthetic value of its own, its characteristics becoming artistically autonomous means of painting. Previously, they had been reserved for studies and sketches. Gotlind Birkle is the first to examine the emergence of modern watercolour painting in the German states – on the basis of contemporary textual sources and extensive knowledge of the pictorial material. A striking example is a series of watercolours by the Munich painter and gallery inspector Johann Georg von Dillis (1759-1841). The author shows how contemporary aesthetics, art criticism, the art market, the demand for education and travelling drove the development of the new picture type and how the premises and concerns of modernism around 1800 shaped watercolour painting. German description: Transparente, lichterfullte Farben, unterschiedliche Flecken und Kleckse sowie die Sichtbarkeit der wassrigen Malfarbe – all dies kennzeichnet die Aquarellmalerei. Erst um 1800 wurde das Aquarell eine Bildgattung mit asthetischem Eigenwert, seine Charakteristika zu kunstlerisch autonomen Gestaltungsmitteln. Zuvor waren sie Studien und Skizzen vorbehalten gewesen. Gotlind Birkle untersucht erstmals die Entstehung der modernen Aquarellmalerei in den deutschen Landern – auf Grundlage zeitgenossischer Textquellen und umfassender Kenntnis des Bildmaterials. Pragnantes Beispiel ist eine Aquarellfolge des Munchner Malers und Galerieinspektors Johann Georg von Dillis (1759-1841). Die Autorin kann zeigen, wie zeitgenossische Asthetik, Kunstkritik, Kunstmarkt, Bildungsbedarf sowie Reisetatigkeit die Entwicklung des neuen Bildtyps vorantrieben und wie die Pramissen und Anliegen der Moderne um 1800 die Aquarellmalerei pragten.
