Lot description
Blick auf die Förde. 1919.
Watercolor.

• Atmospheric landscape watercolor with strong, opaque colors of pictorial effect.
• The year the work was made, Erich Heckel and his wife Siddi acquired a small farm on the Flensburg Fjord, where they had already spend the summer months since 1910.
• Expression of Heckel's love of his adopted home on the Baltic Sea, of the quiet surroundings, and his fascination for the landscape and vegetation and the vast horizon.
The work is registered in the Erich Heckel Estate, Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance. We are grateful to Mrs Renate Ebner and Mr Hans Geissler for the kind support in cataloging this lot.

"Heckel's landscapes provide an example of inner feelings translate into painting, into a specific genre of art. Nature is not viewed objectively and soberly, as a model for a masterly brushwork, precisely seen and transferred in exact colors and light, instead the artist feels the essence of nature, strong and yet delicate."
Ludwig Justi, quoted from: Karlheinz Gabler, Erich Heckel und sein Kreis, Dokumente, 1983, p. 156
