The encounter with Paul Klee in 1919, both artists had a studio in Werneck-Schloss in Munich, had decisive impact on the art of Hans Reichel. They stayed in contact even after Klee had left for the Bauhaus in 1920, over the following years he also met Kandinsky, Gropius and Feininger during visits in Weimar and Dessau. This composition clearly shows the influence of Kandinsky, whose abstract watercolors from the early 1920s paved the path for his famous portfolio "Kleinen Welten" (Small Worlds). What is even more impressive about this work is the tendency towards the miniature, which would become characteristic of Reichel's oeuvre.
