With his works created in the 1920s in the style of New Objectivity, Josef Wedewer (Lüdinghausen 1896-1979 ibid.) created an insight into a different everyday reality, which mainly took place in the countryside, away from the rapidly changing cities.
As a representative of regional Westphalian art, he worked outside the metropolitan avant-garde after studying at the art academy in Kassel, but not isolated from it. His contemporary landscape paintings incorporate elements of Impressionist - and Cubist - painting as well as references to early modern Dutch painting, which characterise his unmistakable style.
