• In this expressive watercolor, which was made during WWI, Heckel captured the natural phenomenon with great spontaneity.
• He had been deployed in Flanders as paramedic since 1915, where he time and again found a moment to make new artworks.
• The rainbow emanates an air of hope while it would only occupy a symbolic function in the artist's late creative period.
• Watercolors from this period are very rare on the international auction market (source: artprice.com)
