Steine am Strand. 1964.
Colored chalk over ink brush.
Lower right signed, lower left inscribed with teh work number "64/53". On off-white paper. 39.8 x 54 cm (15.6 x 21.2 in), the full sheet. [JS].
• Masterful depiction of clarity and vastness of sky and sea.
• Fascinating example of Schmidt-Rottluff's superb combination of luminous color and black contour.
• While Schmidt-Rottluff's works on paper have been dominated by the technique of watercolor since the years of the "Brücke", the artist chose a powerful and dynamic coloration in color chalks, which gives the seascape an airy and agitated character.
• Schmidt-Rottluff's sensitivity for the relationship between painted and unpainted surfaces, which he combines into a symbiotic unity in our luminous landscape composition, is outstanding.
PROVENANCE: Private collection North Rhine-Westphalia.
In good condition. With faint isolated rubbings and faintly discolored margins and in corners from former mounting.
