"With his unique method, Schmidt-Rottluff established the watercolor as a genre on par with his paintings. In terms of size, composition and painterly execution, they are of equal rank. For Schmidt-Rottluff, who was formative for German Expressionism with the artist group "Brücke" and who deliberately pursued an anti-academic and spontaneous method guided by sensation, regarding the immediate rendition of what he saw and felt as paramount criteria for an unadulterated expression, the watercolor and its facile and simple handling was the technique of his choice in order to capture his impressions directly >in front of nature<."
