Cow paintings by Marianne Igel

Cattle recur in Marianne’s work: a single head, a pair, or a collage. This selection brings together eight works with that subject from her catalogue.

A cow's head, seen head-on and filling the picture: the face painted in grainy red-brown, the muzzle pale, the coat running into darkness at the right, against a cloudy grey-white ground
The Cow · 80 × 70 cm, 2013

Cattle in painting and collage

The selection brings together works from different years and in different formats. It is a thematic selection, not a series named by Marianne.

  • A cow's head, seen head-on and filling the picture: the face painted in grainy red-brown, the muzzle pale, the coat running into darkness at the right, against a cloudy grey-white ground

    The Cow

    80 × 70 cm, 2013

    A single cow’s head fills the image, fading into the grey ground at the right.

  • Two cows' heads side by side against a turquoise-green ground, painted in grey and pink and outlined in black line, with a yellow-rimmed ring like a bell at the upper right and threads of white paint at the lower right

    bim-bam bim-bam

    50 × 50 cm, 2018

    Two cow heads stand against turquoise green; a yellow ring suggests a bell.

  • A cow's head in profile at the right of the picture — brown and ochre with a grey muzzle, horn and ear — against a white and grey abstract ground

    What's New?

    80 × 80 cm, 2014

    A cow in profile looks out from a loosely painted white-grey ground.

  • A cow's head filling a square canvas against strong red: the face dark violet to black, the muzzle pale, two light horns, and the name RONJA lettered in capitals on a band at its neck

    Ronia the Beautiful

    50 × 50 cm, 2012

    A dark head stands against strong red; the collar reads ‘RONJA’.

  • A cow's head in profile at the left of the picture: the face in pink and magenta, the muzzle pale, against a green-brown ground; a broad pink sweep runs down from the upper right, and the words “auf der Weide” are written into the paint at the lower right

    Untitled XX

    50 × 40 cm, 2021

    Pink and magenta define the head against green-brown; below are the words ‘auf der Weide’.

  • Two cattle on a pale cream ground, drawn rather than painted, in charcoal and thin colour; a dark field at the upper left and handwritten lines along the bottom

    Untitled XXI

    50 × 50 cm, 2021

    Two cattle are drawn in charcoal and thin paint above handwritten lines.

  • The head of a black-and-white cow against an ochre-yellow ground, its muzzle and ears pink; newspaper is pasted at the lower right with the word COW lettered over it in pink capitals

    Untitled XXII

    2021

    A black-and-white head against ochre meets newspaper and the word ‘COW’.

  • Four framed mixed-media works: cattle over German newspaper with handwritten text

    Cattle, in four parts

    Mixed media

    Four framed works show cattle over printed paper.

One subject, different views

‘La vache’ shows a single head frontally; in ‘bim-bam bim-bam’, two cow heads stand close together. Other works combine animal drawings with writing or newspaper.

Dimensions and dates are shown only when documented. The catalogue does not establish which originals are currently available.
