Description:Portrait of a half-figure, seated girl named ‘Gretel’ with a dark short haircut, wearing a red blouse and brown skirt.
Hist. crit. notes:Gottfried Moroder (1921 - 2016) also from Val Gardena, studied painting at the technical school in Ortisei, and later worked as a painter, also of sculptures. After his 1947 and 1952 Bolzano exhibitions, his portrait of Gretel appeared at the Bolzano Art Fair in 1960 and was later put on display at the Bolzano Provincial Council building. Making use of striking white outlines to heighten the contrasts, it is his landscapes that showcase Gottfried Moroder's watercolour skills.
