• In winter 1940/41 Heckel visited the Ore Mountains, the following summer he went to Carinthia.
• During the war the artist found hope and solace in contemplating nature, which answered to the romatic pursuit of transgressing boundaries.
• In a letter to Lyonel Feininger in 1941, Heckel expressed his despair about the war: "It is hard not to be paralyzed and drown in senselessness".
• The artist masterly integrated the blank parts of the paper as snow-covered surfaces in this atmospheric winter landscape.
