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
.
