by Otto Mueller, 1926
August Macke completed this luminous scene around 1912, showing two women seated in bright grass beneath colorful foliage. The composition uses bold patches of pure color arranged in a rhythmic pattern that creates both depth and decorative unity. Macke's joyful palette and harmonious forms express his optimistic vision of modern life.
The painting dates from Macke's most productive period, when he synthesized influences from French painting into his own distinctive style. His combination of Fauvist color with a more structured approach to composition distinguished his work from other German Expressionists. Now at the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, this work captures Macke's art at its most radiant.
