• With great ease and liberated lines, Erich Heckel captures the Italian scenery and transfers it to a new era and understanding of art.
• The Brücke Museum in Berlin has similar works from Heckel's trip to Italy in 1909, which are imbued with the light of the South and the vigor of the then still young artist
.
