"It is revealing that Heckel was drawn to the Baltic Sea. You have to see this vast body of water with your own eyes to understand that it is can reflect light like a gigantic mirror, with an intensity that is not limited to the coastal strip, but also touches nearby stretches of land in a way that you can tell the distance to the sea from the high and clear air - it is no coincidence that Heckel would name one of his paintings after this phenomenon."

It was during these days that Erich Heckel approached an expressive realism that would define his later paintings. The two seated women on the beach, a well-known motif in the work of Heckel and the Expressionists, recede into the background before the overwhelming landscape. The women form a contemplative unity with the landscape, the fascination that it exerts was so aptly described in Paul Vogt's 1965 monograph on Erich Heckel about our painting: “It is significant that it was the Baltic Sea to which Heckel felt drawn. You have to have experienced this vast expanse of water for yourself to understand that it is capable of reflecting the light like a gigantic mirror, with an intensity that is not limited to the coastal strip alone, but also encompasses the nearest areas of land, in such a way that you can already recognize the proximity of the sea from the high and clear air - it is no coincidence that Heckel gave one of his paintings this name.”
It is the changing phenomena of light that Erich Heckel explores intensively. The sun's rays that break through the dense clouds can be traced in the damp haze above the sea right up to the surface of the water. This phenomenon is reflected by the glassy water. It is precisely this sublime moment that Erich Heckel places at the heart of his depiction.
