About the artwork:

"Hypnosis," painted by Sascha Schneider in 1904, is an evocative representation of psychological control and influence. The artwork depicts a powerful, muscular figure with an intense gaze, seemingly exerting a mesmerizing force over another, more passive figure. Schneider's use of stark contrasts and dynamic lines enhances the dramatic tension, emphasizing the theme of dominance and submission. The painting's surreal and almost otherworldly atmosphere reflects the artist's fascination with the human psyche and the hidden forces that shape behavior and perception.

  • Title Hypnosis (Hypnose)
  • Artist Sascha Schneider (Rudolph Karl Alexander Schneider, German painter and sculptor of Baltic German origin; Saint Petersburg, 21 September 1870 - Swinemünde [now Świnoujście, Poland], 18 August 1927; studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts from 1889; buried in Loschwitz Cemetery, Dresden)
  • Year of creation 1904 (the same year Schneider was appointed professor at the Großherzoglich-Sächsische Kunstschule Weimar, and the year he met the painter Hellmuth Jahn — with whom he subsequently began an on-again, off-again relationship. Schneider had met the best-selling adventure novelist Karl May the previous year, in 1903, and was simultaneously producing the cover illustrations for the deluxe Fehsenfeld edition of May's novels including Winnetou, Old Surehand and Am Rio de la Plata. As a gay man living in a Germany where homosexuality was criminalised under § 175 of the penal code, Schneider embraced the Freikörperkultur — "free body culture" — movement's emphasis on open, shame-free living in his art. Hypnosis applies the motifs of Symbolism to a dark allegorical scene of psychological control and submission. A few years later, when Jahn attempted to blackmail Schneider by threatening to out him to the German government, Schneider asked Hans Olde, director of the Weimar school, to terminate his contract — writing "The house of cards is about to collapse again! The old song! The abnormal is a curse, even if one should be used to it as an artist" — and fled to Italy, where homosexuality was not criminalised)

  • Original dimensions Not specifically documented in public sources
