Every regular reader will spot the error in the screen shot above really quick:
- This page is about Fritz Neumann (1881 – 1918)
- The second image shows a sailing boat, which is probably by another Fritz Neumann, especially since this one died 1918 and the construction of the „Laboe Naval Memorial“ , which can be seen in the background, was started in 1927. The building is also on my Brick expressionism blog …
There is a higher resolution image available at veryimportantlot.com .
A while a ago I’ve added a post showing a painted tile painted by Fritz Neumann and produced by Rosenthal . Since the company has quite a history they also offer a archive research service. In spring 2019 I’ve send them an inquiry about the history of this particular product and the artist, Today I got an answer. Since I don’t have their permission I don’t quote the reply here. The raw facts:
- Produced by Rosenthal Handmalerei in Munich between 1934 and 1951, since the mark was only used in this time span - especially for export goods to the USA.
- A painting by the German painter Fritz Neumann (1881-1919) was used as a template.
Every regular reader will be surprised now and notice that the dates of life and the theme do not go together: The second statement is wrong with a probability bordering on certainty, but so far there has been no answer.

Finally it’s the time in year to eat cookies and do some personal research. I found the following comment on the original blog by Simon .
The link to the Blogger.com profile page might work if you have a Blogger.com account
I’m still not sure how to follow this clue, but I’ll add a page for it.
And i’ve also found some more images for this blog. Stay tuned!

All hints of the original blog are incorporated now. The next steps are to wait for some replies and to find out more about the Holsten Gate blind stamp.
I’ll continue to post new images of Ric’s works, when I find them. Until then the frequency of new entries will be quite low.
