Erich Heckel
Bäume am Kliff, 1914.
Watercolor over pencil
Post auction sale: € 8,000 / $ 8,400
Bäume am Kliff. 1914.
Watercolor over pencil.
Lower right signed (in ligature), dated and titled. On creme laid paper (with the watermark). 51 x 40.3 cm (20 x 15.8 in), nearly the full sheet. [CH].
• With the high horizon line, the cold-warm contrast and the frog's perspective, Heckel created a unique composition.
• A difficult time of creation: a few months earlier, disagreements between the members led to the disbanding of the "Brücke"group.
• The watercolor was created during Heckel's short summer stay on the Baltic Sea near the Flensburg Fjord, which was interrupted by the outbreak of WW I.
• The secluded beach with the cliffs and the hilly hinterland were subject of several landscape paintings.
The work is registered in the Erich Heckel Estate, Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance. We are grateful to Mrs Renate Ebner for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
