Original Description
Lesser Ury's At The Races (c. 1925) captures the exhilarating energy of early 20th-century horseracing with a masterful blend of Impressionism and German Expressionism. The scene thrums with motion — blurred jockeys lean forward atop muscular steeds, dust clouds swirl, and crowds dissolve into flickering brushstrokes against a luminous sky. Ury’s signature technique of broken color and dynamic diagonals creates palpable tension, immersing viewers in the spectacle's fleeting intensity. As a Berlin Secessionist, Ury bridged French Impressionist light effects with distinctly modern urban subjects, making this work emblematic of Weimar-era cultural vibrancy. Though lesser-known than contemporaries like Liebermann, his innovative handling of light and movement secured his status as a pivotal figure in Germany’s transition to modernist painting.
For interior styling, At The Races commands attention as a statement piece above a leather Chesterfield sofa or in a wood-paneled study, where its kinetic energy balances traditional elements. Opt for a wide frame (approx. 90x70cm reproduction) with a slender gold leaf trim to echo the painting’s warm highlights. Position it against deep navy or charcoal walls to intensify its luminous contrasts, or pair it with Art Deco furnishings for period-appropriate flair. In offices, it sparks dynamism when hung opposite windows to catch natural light, harmonizing with brass desk accessories and racing-green upholstery. Smaller giclée prints work well grouped asymmetrically in entryways, with matte black frames unifying the series while allowing Ury’s vibrant palette to dominate.
