Gerhild Diesner *
(Innsbruck 1915 -1995 Hall in Tirol)
Herbst im Hofgarten, Innsbruck (Autumn in the park, Innsbruck), c. 1979, signed Diesner, oil on canvas, 48 x 55 cm, framed
Provenance:
Private Collection, Germany

Matthias Boeckl, Gerhild Diesner, Kunstinitiative Tirol (Hg.), Innsbruck 2007, „Winter im Hofgarten“, p. 186
“No one can escape the magic of the animated planes in her works.”
Otto Benesch
The most scenic route from the Saggen district of Innsbruck, where Gerhild Diesner resided during the final chapter of her life, into the city centre leads through the Hofgarten. With its mature trees and winding paths, the park possesses a distinctive atmosphere that the artist captured in numerous paintings and across different seasons in her characteristically vibrant, colour-rich painterly style.
Trained in the tradition of the French Expressionists, most notably Matisse, Diesner masterfully conceived reality in large-scale forms, letting colour speak rather than relying on intricate details. Yellow, rust red, and dark blue set against the white background of the mountain silhouette impulsively convey the impression of autumn – with its golden light, the final flare of colour, and its encroaching chill.
