Sonnenuntergang an der Förde. 1915.
Woodcut.
Signedand inscribed with the work number "1522". On wove paper. 29.9 x 36 cm (11.7 x 14.1 in). Sheet: x 38 cm (14,9 x 19,6 in).
Self-printed at Fritz Voigt, Berlin. [CH].

• Self-printed by the artist.
• Large sheet in the expressive, powerful formal language of the late "Brücke" period (1905-1913).
• With characteristically clear contours, angular forms, dynamic lines and an oversized, dark sun, Schmidt-Rottluff creates a particularly atmospheric scene.
• Schmidt-Rottluff's graphic depictions of Russian landscapes were probably first created in Berlin - based on memories of the Russian countryside, which the artist became acquainted with during the First World War.
• Instead of symbolic or direct references to war and destruction, he depicts a rural idyll that is only subtly undermined by the eerie and mysterious atmosphere.

Large-format sheet in good condition. The upper right edge of the sheet irregular. Faint vertical crease in the right margin. Quite isolated tiny pinpoint adhesions and small handling creases outside the image. Slight surface fading in the upper corners of the sheet, probably due to an earlier mounting.
